I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GitLab in June 2025
Interview
I had a 30-minute call with a recruiter where I shared my background and experiences. However, the conversation felt one-sided, there were no follow-up questions or engagement from the recruiter. I even had to prompt by asking if I should elaborate further. After receiving a rejection email, I followed up with her to request feedback but received no response.
For a recruitment team within a technology company, this lack of transparency and communication is disappointing. Constructive feedback and engagement are essential not only for a fair candidate experience but also for ensuring strong representation and thoughtful hiring within the team.
