I had a really positive experience interviewing for a Staff Software Engineer role. I was first contacted by the recruiter via LinkedIn, and he stayed responsive and kept me informed throughout the process. The interview process included four stages: an initial conversation with the hiring manager, two coding interviews, and a system design discussion. Overall, the interviews felt practical and well-structured. Technical rounds were relatively straightforward and stood out in a good way — they felt collaborative and focused on real-world scenarios rather than abstract questions. Everyone I spoke with was friendly, open to questions, and easy to talk to. The entire process took about 5 weeks, and communication was consistent throughout. Great experience overall and very organized process.

I was ghosted after the final round when the recruiter said he'd call me shortly for an update. I first spoke with the recruiter, then the engineering manager. Afterwards, there was a technical coding round that was more collaborative, followed by a fun system design problem. The entire staff was super nice and this was an overall great experience...until after the final round, which I did pretty well on. I waited 3 business days (crossing over a weekend) and reached out to the recruiter for an update, conveying I'm still interested. The next day he said he should have an update and will call me shortly. A whole week goes by and crickets. I withdrew myself from the running. This is the first time I've left a review, warning others about a company. Ghosting is the norm and I usually don't spend time leaving a review, but to tell me you're going to call and not follow through is a poor candidate experience.
