I applied online through an employee referral for a few entry-level SWE positions.

Communication from the recruiter was poor. They emailed me to schedule a 45-minute technical HackerRank, but did not specify which role or team it was for. I scheduled the interview a week out.

I emailed some follow-up questions but received no response, so I was on my own for preparation. The interviewer was helpful at times, providing hints and leading questions.

I heard nothing from them after the interview. I sent a follow-up email after a few weeks and received no response. After two months, I got a rejection email.

Tell me about your background/resume.
