      SW Engineer Interview

      Jun 17, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Fathom in May 2026

      Interview

      Extremely long process, took 7 weeks from initial contact to rejection with the meaningless "the team really liked you but made the difficult decision to move forward with another candidate" cr*p. Anyway, was on the fence if I'd even accept an offer as throughout it seemed like they're constantly fire fighting, expectations of 50hrs+ (straight up asked for) and competitors with deeper pockets. Almost all interviewers were friendly and thoughtful but one seemed aggressive/negative from the get go. They're also recording all interviews with their own system, asking for consent and the option to also get access to the recording, this only worked for the initial recruiter chat though
