Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Quite a bad experience.
The recruiter sent me a CCAT test, which I completed. After that, they ghosted me.
I emailed them three times to ask for the results. The first time, one person replied, stating that a recruiter would share the results with me soon. However, no one shared the results. They did not respond to my next two emails.

Pros: Impact ability here is fire. I'm writing code that's getting hit like 10 million times a day. No politics BS here, like another tech company I was at. Everyone is super friendly.
Cons: Launch crunches suck sometimes, but hey, free food helps!
