Software Engineer Interview Experience - Australia

January 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was reached out by a recruiter via LinkedIn and had a phone screening organized. Their phone screens are different from other companies' as they require a video interview on Google Hangouts, where you must show your face and ensure your code compiles. My interviewer was very friendly and seemed genuinely happy working at Snapchat, recommending the workplace to me.

After my interview, the recruiter reached out again asking where I'd like to work and when I'll be graduating. I thought this meant I was moving on to the on-site interview, but since then I've been completely ghosted by my recruiter (for over a month now) despite emailing politely for updates. I wish I had at least received a rejection or thank you email, but they kept me hanging for a whole fortnight before I gave up trying to contact my recruiter.

Questions

I was literally asked to implement a doubly linked list. The fact that it was a generic type and had to compile made it harder than usual, I suppose.
