Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Extremely unprofessional. The recruiter ghosted me after all my rounds.

There was no reply to my emails or phone calls. Even if you're not going ahead, you should let the candidate know about the decision.

Other things like this make me think that Salesforce will never be FAANG level due to this.
