I interviewed at Linux Foundation (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview process started out strong and I had a timeline that they wanted to hire right away. After going through the entire process, which was multiple interviews and an assessment, I was ghosted. I followed up multiple times with the different people I interviewed with, to no avail. Two months later, I received an automated email that they hired someone else. It was pretty frustrating to say the least.

Over the course of two months, I completed a series of interviews ranging from the hiring manager to the CEO. The discussions were primarily conversational and soft skills–focused, with limited emphasis on technical evaluation.

Question 1
The one question that kept resurfacing was, ‘How do you handle situations with no clear playbook?’ It captured their focus on leadership maturity and decision-making under uncertainty.

Interview
I interviewed with 4 different Linux Foundation employees and was asked to take an assessment exam after the 2nd interview. After my final interview, I was told I would hear within the next week. Up until this point communication was great, but then I got ghosted by the employer. I reached out on 2 separate occasions to 2 separate staff members that I interviewed and got no response. After putting so much time and effort into the process to not get a response (even if I did not get the position) I feel was very unprofessional.
