I applied online. I interviewed at GitHub (Austin, TX) in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview process took over two months, with long stretches of silence between rounds and poor communication from the recruiter. While I was excited about the role and the team seemed strong, the logistics made the process frustrating and discouraging.
I often had to follow up multiple times just to get an update. The delays between steps weren’t explained, and there was no consistent feedback or clarity on what came next. At one point I went weeks without hearing anything after completing a round.
For a company of GitHub’s scale, I expected a more respectful and transparent candidate experience. Everyone I spoke to was smart and kind, but the recruiting coordination felt disorganized and unprioritized.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at GitHub (London, England) in Sept 2025
Interview
First stage recruiter call (45 minutes) which went well, both sides confirmed we'd like to progress to the next stage and the process was outlined. I was subsequently ghosted for 8 weeks, only getting a response when I emailed saying I'd withdrawn my application - to tell me that the team was being "rethought" and the job may not actually be available anymore but they'll let me know (they never did).
