Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

Terrible experience. Recruiter reached out to me online and eventually passed me onto an interview coordinator to set up a phone screen. The phone screen itself was alright -- nothing out of the norm.

Fast forward 2 weeks and no response, so I send an email to the recruiter to follow up on my status. 1 week later, still no response -- at this point I figured they were obviously not moving on with me, but at least I had hoped for the courtesy of being rejected. I emailed the interview coordinator this time to see if there was a mix-up and immediately got a dismissive email back saying they had already sent me a rejection email 4 weeks ago and I probably missed that email because it went to spam or something.

Well, guess what, the phone interview was 3 weeks ago, so either they already made their mind up to reject me before I even interviewed, or they just blatantly lied to me. Either reflects very poorly on the company and given recent PR developments, I can't say I didn't expect any different.
