      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Mar 7, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Upstream in Jan 2025

      Interview

      I had high hopes while interviewing for this company. The whole process (at least to the point that I made it) seemed professional. I had a cognitive assessment to complete, followed by an HR interview , where most of the focus was on my studies(Bachelor's etc) and in what i have worked on in my career - previous experiences. After that I had a technical interview screening , in which the interviewers (hiring manager, principal engineer) would ask me back to back questions to get a feeling of my knowledge. After completing this interview i received a call from HR saying I made an excellent and very positive impression , and in that call they asked once again my salary expectations and whether I am open to some negotiation if that did not match , to which I said yes. The HR interviewer said ok , I am going to talk it with my team and reach out to you soon . And that was it . This was 3,5 weeks ago , no more information available , no new contact , no emails , nothing , just plainly ghosted. I even sent a follow up email around 2 weeks after , and to which they have not even cared to answer , whether that would be a positive or a negative answer. I would expect a lot more professionalism from this company , especially when you invested so much time. Truth is even if I get an offer after so much time with no information I am pretty sure i will decline , since this showcases how the company treats their employees. Would not recommend it based on my experience.

      Question 1
