Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online for the new grad engineer position and completed a HackerRank assessment.

After a few weeks with no response, I followed up by email, mentioning that I had other deadlines.

A few days later, I was scheduled for a phone interview. I felt the phone interview went well, and I received very positive feedback from the engineer.

The next day, the recruiting contact reached out to say we were continuing in the process and that she would put me in touch with another recruiter to move forward.

However, the second recruiter never contacted me.

I followed up with both of them a couple of times but was ultimately ghosted.

I had heard such good things about Stripe, so this experience significantly diminished my goodwill towards the company.

It is very unprofessional to inform a candidate they are advancing to an onsite interview and then ghost them.
