Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
I applied online and also emailed a recruiter. The recruiter was extremely helpful, polite, and assisted me greatly.
I was scheduled for a virtual call with a hiring manager. I never heard back from the company after that, even though I asked for updates via email. This was a classic case of ghosting.
