Software Engineer Interview Experience - Columbus, Ohio
Process
Started with a phone interview with the Upstart recruiter, followed by a take-home test on Codility. Although the interview went well and I scored almost perfect on the test, I was sent a no-reply email saying they were moving forward with other candidates. I asked the recruiter for feedback and she promised to get back within a day. A week later she has decided not to respond.
