It was quite an unprofessional and negative experience for me. First, they randomly called me from an unknown number, without any prior scheduling, six months after I had applied for the role. They asked if I could set up an initial HR interview, so we scheduled a time. I prepared and waited, but they ended up calling me about an hour late. And when we finally talked, it wasn’t even a proper prescreening, just a five minute conversation to schedule a technical interview.
I wasn’t given any details about what to expect, just told to have my IDE ready. I had been focusing on DSA questions, but in the actual interview, they asked a bunch of tech stack-specific questions and had me code a simple program while they watched. The interview itself lasted about two hours, and while the interviewers were nice and the questions were easy, I wasn’t expecting that format, so I performed poorly.
That said, I knew I didn’t do well and was expecting a rejection. But what really disappointed me was that they never even bothered to follow up. No feedback, no rejection email—nothing. To this day, they’ve never officially closed the loop on my application. After spending two hours in their interview, the least they could do was send a response. Even an automated rejection email would have been better than complete silence. Really disappointing.
