I applied for a Staff Engineer position (Leaderboard team) with Peloton through a friend who worked there. Spoke with the recruiter who discussed the role and the product. The next was an outsourced coding interview with Karat (LC medium). The problem was split into 2, I completed the first part with tests passing and could not complete the 2nd part due to lack of time (There is no way you can solve it in 30 mins unless you have already seen it and solved it before). But since I had got the first part working well, I was under the impression I had proved my skills adequately to be qualified. The recruiter ghosted at this point. Not even a standard reply saying I passed/failed. 3 weeks later, after contacting my friend who worked there, I got a reply from the recruiter with no feedback other than saying the role was filled and I could take few more Karat interviews for other roles. No answer when I requested for specific feedback on where I failed. Recruiter, if you are reading this, it's not good etiquette to ghost on candidates the way you did. Candidates spend a lot of time in prepping for these interviews and its disrespectful when you ghost and don't provide feedback. It reflects poorly on you and your company. I feel the company did not respect my time and was unprofessional in the way they treated me during the process. I can only imagine how it would feel for the people who work there with that kind of attitude.

1. Initial call with recruiter. 2. Karat Interview - This was bit tight. First 5 mins for introduction, 10 mins for two system design, rest for 2 Algo 3. Chat with Hiring Manager
