Software Engineer Interview Experience

March 8, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Terrible experience. Passed OA, spoke to HR, and was scheduled to meet the hiring manager for the first round.

The hiring manager didn't show up.

We rescheduled, and they didn't show up the 2nd time.

We rescheduled again, and they didn't show up the 3rd time.

Three times was really the limit for me, as it was a waste of my time and I felt very disrespected. Ultimately, the involved teams lacked internal communication and professionalism.

I did not carry on with this role, so the recruiter helped push me to another role.

After interviewing for this other role, I was told the position was currently "on hold due to a change in business needs."

Too much back and forth with different recruiters; the hiring process and needs seem messy overall.
