Applied and had a ~30 minute phone call with the technical recruiter about a week later. She was pleasant to talk to. Talked a bit about myself and my experiences. She asked me why I chose LCS, what I knew about LCS, and told me a bit about the company and the services they provide. Got placed into a 1h interview with a senior developer, which also went well. He asked me "Tell me about yourself" so I explained how I got into the career, some of my projects/college experience and internship experience, what languages I have experience with, etc. No live coding or whiteboard style type of interviewing, although he did ask a handful of algorithms questions to see how I approached and discussed problems, such as "How would you go about reversing a string?", "How would you find out if a word is a palindrome?", "What's the difference between an inner join and a left join?", and "How would you go about counting the number of characters in a file?". We also talked about similar things that I spoke about with the technical recruiter, such as "What do you know about LCS?" and "Why LCS?" and he discussed what LCS does and what products they offer. Everything seemed to have went so well, but then over the weekend I had received an automated rejection email by their HR team on an odd, late time on a Sunday night. Part of me believed maybe it was the job posting expiring and a mass basic rejection email got sent out, but that turned out to not be the case because I sent an email to the technical recruiter the next day asking for feedback on my performance, like what they liked and perhaps didn't like about me that may have led to them choosing another candidate, thanking them for their time, etc, but I've been ghosted since and just left it at that. Very strange and I honestly feel a bit disrespected because of that. This whole process would've been rated a "Positive" experience instead of a "Neutral" if it weren't for the blunt, cold ending. Both the technical recruiter and senior developer really seemed to enjoy meeting and speaking with me, so I really don't know what the ghosting was about.
