I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tigera
Interview
I was ghosted after being told I had cleared multiple interview rounds for a Senior Software Engineer position.
I completed the recruiter screening, hiring manager, and coding round and received an email late Friday evening (6:50 p.m.) stating that I had advanced and was expected to come on-site the following Monday.
I explained that I was in a different city and asked if the interviews could be held over Zoom, as part of the process was already remote.
I never received any response after that. It was extremely unprofessional to stop communication at that stage, especially after confirming my progression.
