Initial Recruiter Call: The process began with a slight mishap; the recruiter was absent for our originally scheduled call. I followed up with an email after a reasonable wait, and she explained that her previous call had overrun. We successfully rescheduled, and this led to the arrangement of the technical interview. Technical interview: I was presented with a straightforward string/array algorithm challenge. Coming back to interviewing after a long time, I was very rusty and out of practice, and my nerves were at an all time high. The interview didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped, but I managed to easily solve the challenge shortly after the interview concluded when pressure was off. The two engineers conducting the interview were very understanding and patient. Post-Interview Communication: Following the interview, I sent out thank-you emails. Frankly, I was expecting a polite rejection but ended up with no response at all. I was able to tell when the emails I sent were opened, yet there was no reply, not even after one follow-up from my side. Completely and intentionally ghosted. Suggestion for the Hiring Team: A bit of communication can go a long way. It would be great if candidates could receive some form of closure, even if it’s a rejection. Leaving candidates in the dark isn't ideal. A simple, courteous update would reflect well on the professionalism and respect the company holds for its potential employees.
