Why Do Some Companies Conduct Interviews and Then Disappear? | Zeta
Summary
I interviewed with Zeta, where I successfully solved two data structure and algorithm questions. However, despite my performance, I was unfortunately ghosted and received no further communication regarding the outcome.
Full Experience
I recently went through an interview process with Zeta. During the first round, I was presented with two data structure and algorithm questions. I recall one being the 'Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters' and the other being the 'Word Ladder' problem. I believe I performed well, as I was able to solve both questions, and the interviewers even validated my solutions with various test cases.
However, following this successful interview, I encountered a significant lack of communication. I reached out to the recruiter multiple times over a period, seeking updates or feedback on my application. Each time, the response was either delayed or non-existent. After four follow-ups with no concrete resolution or even a rejection, I ultimately decided to stop pursuing the opportunity. It was quite disappointing to be left without any closure after investing my time and effort into the interview process.
