      Staff Security Engineer Interview

      Apr 2, 2022
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Affirm

      Interview

      After a hr screen, hiring manager phone interview and a zoom technical interview, they decided to send an email saying the engineering team has decided to not move forward but there may be a position available down the line. I came out of the interview thinking it went really well, as the questions were real simple. To hear the above was surprising and confusing. I asked for some feedback as to why the rejection and radio silence.
