The recruiter screening felt as though it was going fairly well, but I received an automated rejection shortly afterward with almost no detail. The questions I remember were basic: tell me about yourself, why I wanted to work there, and why I was considering other roles.

Location: San Francisco, CA. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
