Abnormal AI Software Engineer interview experience

The conversation quickly drifted into the recruiter’s personal life and career, and I felt like they were largely disengaged from my background and what I could bring to the role. It made it hard to judge where I stood.

A couple of days later, I got an email saying I wouldn’t be moving forward. There wasn’t much substance beyond that, so it felt abrupt and low-effort on their side, and not aligned with how seriously they said they were taking my application.
