I applied online for a remote role in the US. The process began with a recruiter call that was nothing short of unprofessional. Instead of sharing any background about the company or role, the recruiter focused only on my compensation expectations and made it clear they would proceed only if my range fit the hiring team.
They quickly scheduled technical rounds, I completed multiple standard SDE interviews with the hiring manager and team, and was later informed that I had cleared all rounds and that they were ready to extend an offer. Then complete silence for two weeks.
When the recruiter finally resurfaced to “discuss” the offer, no numbers were presented. Instead, I was again asked for my salary expectations (the same ones I had already shared in the first call). To make matters worse, the recruiter even asked if my expectations were in INR or USD, despite this being a US-based remote role. I was told an official offer would follow within two days, but they completely ghosted afterward.
This was by far one of the most unprofessional recruiting experiences I’ve ever had. A month-long process wasted, marked by poor communication, blatant disregard for the candidate’s time, and ultimately, zero follow-through. Based on this experience, I would strongly advise others to think twice before interviewing here.
