ServiceNow Software Engineer interview: positive start, months of silence

I applied online, spoke first with a recruiter, and then had a video conversation with the hiring manager. During that call, I was told my skills matched what they wanted. Then I heard nothing for months.

Eventually I received an automated rejection while the role kept appearing again. The recruiter also stopped responding after I reached out twice. It was frustrating because the process seemed to have momentum early on, then stalled without a real follow-up. There was no offer. The contrast between the positive early message and the abrupt silence left a sour impression.

Location: Santa Clara, CA. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
