Software Engineer Interview Experience

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took three weeks.

There were four rounds and a tech test, and then I was ghosted. The people seemed nice enough. I had no idea whether the role was mothballed in a reorg. Overall, it was not a great experience, though the remuneration range wasn't anything to write home about.
