Application
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Carbon (Redwood City, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
I received an HR screen where I was asked about my background and why I wanted to work for Carbon. I was told they would get back to me within a day to let me know whether or not we would proceed with the interview process, but I was ghosted despite following up with them.
It seems like "ghosting" is a habit with this company as I have read other reviews suggesting similar experiences. This isn't a dating app - so I expected to be treated like a human being - especially when I'm dedicating time and energy into preparing to interview with your company.

Question 1
Why do you wish to work at Carbon?
Tell me about your experience.
Applied online and spoke to an engineer about my background. Engineer said they would get back to me to proceed with next steps since I had very relevant experience. The recruiter confirmed this and said they would follow-up by a particular date. I was ghosted after this, although I followed-up multiple times.

Interview
HR screen + EM screen, followed by on-site with 4 technical rounds. The team was both smart and kind, and the questions were practical. Expect to write real code in these interviews :)
