Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process

This is the longest interview process I have experienced.

I had a phone interview with an HR representative, followed by a code test.

After that, I received no response for almost a month. When I contacted them, I was told my test had been forgotten.

Three days later, I was invited for an on-site, in-person interview. The interviews were easy, and I received positive feedback from all interviewers. However, one week later, I was rejected.

Then came the longest reimbursement process I have experienced. I emailed them several times to inquire about reimbursement but received no response. It felt like I was begging for money, which was frustrating. They also failed to send me a check twice.

After about a month of communication, I finally received the check. What was ridiculous, they deducted about $30 without any prior explanation.

The whole process was really uncomfortable and disrespectful.
