Process
Applied for the job back in September, still waiting to hear back.
Spoke to a recruiter a few weeks after applying. He said he liked my resume and wanted a code sample.
Gave him my GitHub link and didn't hear from him for a month.
Emailed to check in at the end of October. He responded days later, saying some engineers were going to review my code that day.
It is now the end of February, and I STILL have not heard anything from the recruiter.
If that's how they do business at Squarespace, then I'm glad I got a job elsewhere. Won't be reapplying anytime soon.
