I interviewed with SewerAI between late February and early March. Unfortunately, I experienced a lack of communication and transparency throughout the process, which left a negative impression despite my enthusiasm for the role. I began with a 30-minute screening call with the hiring manager, which went well. I was then scheduled for a technical interview with a Senior Software Engineer but was given no information on what to expect. I reached out to the recruiter for guidance, but received no response. During the interview, I was asked a number of deep technical questions that were beyond the scope of what I was initially told the role required. I still gave it my best and, based on my performance, was moved forward. Next, I completed a take-home assessment that fulfilled all the stated requirements. The team appreciated my work, and I was invited to another round where I explained my approach and answered follow-up technical questions. I was told I would hear back within a week. That update never came. I followed up multiple times with both the recruiter and the engineers I interviewed with but received no response. After over a month of silence, I finally emailed the co-founder. Only after 2–3 follow-ups did I get a reply saying the position had been filled. This experience was deeply disappointing. As a candidate, I invested time and effort across several rounds, and it was disheartening to be met with such a lack of professionalism and basic communication. It raises concerns about how seriously the organization takes not only the candidate experience but potentially its employees as well. Transparent, respectful communication is a minimum expectation in any hiring process, and I hope SewerAI takes this feedback into account to improve future experiences.
