My first time ever getting ghosted. I had a recruiter reach out for a phone screen. During the screen, the recruiter seemed distracted and didn't seem to be paying attention during some points of the interview, and was talking to people off camera. I was told I would hear something the next day on next steps and never heard from them again, even after follow ups from me.
Getting rejected is part of the game and there's no offense taken, but I've interviewed at FAANG companies and tiny startups and never been completely ghosted like that.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ramp in Jun 2025
Interview
great! people were super nice and helpful during the process and made sure to calm my nerves. Was left vague for you to figure out process. They move fast so be ready!

Question 1
What was a time you pushed back on a product design decision?
recruiter screen, then behavioral interview with a design director. we talked about my past work and then i was given feedback afterwards on how the interview went. the feedback was contradictory and the process was confusing because i was headhunted but then they said they overleveled me

Interview
Heavy on rto
Different design exercise was very quick business/product thinking type one. The recruiter was nice enough to prep me it’s not like an app critique or so which was helpful.
Good experience overall the design recruiter seems to know good info about org and design in general
He was also super fast and transparent about process and feedback (after rejection)
