I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Silencerco in May 2025
Interview
The recruiter reached out to my via phone call and left a message. I called back twice without a response, and sent a text message which left unanswered. When he called again, I answered ASAP to not miss the call again. He asked if I had time to talk, and I said yes. Our conversation was stilted and I got a very strong impression that he had no interest in talking with me. I didn't get a callback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What can you tell me about yourself and your experience?
I applied online. I interviewed at Silencerco (West Valley City, UT) in Apr 2024
Interview
The hiring contact never sent an email or scheduled appointment and just tells you over the phone.
They proceeded to question me on things not on my resume whether I've worked with it before.
Massive red flag.
The ceo and IT manager are apple fan boys and want to make the whole company uses apple products.
Massive red flag.
For a company that creates controlled products, they want to switch to the most unsecured operating system.

Question 1
General easy interview questions, until they got to the part where they asked if I'd used things not on my resume.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Silencerco (Magna, UT) in Oct 2020
Interview
Back in October 2020, I was contacted thru LinkedIn to interview for an open position, I went and interviewed in person and it seemed like a good company to work for. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job and so a few months later the same person reached out to me again and offered me a slightly different role with the same job requirements and so after thinking about it I let him know that I would gladly accept an offer to join them.
Turns out it was a cruel joke to play on someone during a pandemic! I figured since I had already interviewed in person that our informal job offer conversation on LinkedIn was legit. I never got a follow-up and when I checked in I kept getting excuses as to why it was taking so long. I would have appreciated some kind of acknowledgment or response as to why they changed their mind about hiring me. Be a professional adult and say we went with someone else if that "job" was even real. Glad to say that I'm no longer interested or will ever be interested in SilencerCo because of that humiliating experience.
