Title: Ghosting After Interview: Waymo's Disappointing Candidate Experience

Rating: 1/5 stars

I recently applied for an Android developer position at Waymo. While initially excited about the opportunity, my experience left a lot to be desired.

After a promising initial phone screen, I was completely ghosted. I waited the standard two weeks, and then followed up politely via email to inquire about the status of my application. To my disappointment, I received no response whatsoever.

This lack of communication demonstrates a lack of respect for candidates' time and effort. It's a frustrating experience after investing time in preparing for an interview, and it left a negative impression of Waymo's overall professionalism.

Key Points:

• Positive initial phone screen experience
• Zero follow-up or communication after the interview
• Polite follow-up email was ignored

Advice to Management: Even if a candidate isn't selected, a simple email acknowledging their time and effort goes a long way in maintaining a positive employer brand.

Note: This review is based on a specific experience and may not reflect the overall interview process at Waymo. However, it highlights the importance of timely and respectful communication within the hiring process.
