United StatesPosted May 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a GitHub Software Engineer role and found the interview sequence only mildly difficult, but the overall experience turned negative due to how the recruiting side handled compensation and process.

Recruiter/HR discussion — I had a conversational screen that quickly shifted into pushback around my questions on pay, benefits, and work-life balance.
Compensation/fit pushback — When I asked to speak with a potential team lead beforehand, I was discouraged or criticized.
Technical follow-up (details limited) — After the early recruiter interactions, I was still involved in additional steps, but I ultimately didn’t receive an offer. Outcome: I didn’t get an offer; the takeaway was that respectful transparency around compensation and candidate questions heavily
