Based on real reported outcomes, Sonic ghosts roughly 40% of applicants, and responds to about 56%. That puts Sonic at a Seen Grade of 52/100 (caution).
"Ghosting" means applying and never hearing back — no rejection, no update, nothing. It's the single most common complaint on Reddit threads about Sonic. Sonic's reported response rate is 56%, so a meaningful share of applicants never get a reply. Common reasons: roles filled internally, listings left open after closing, or high applicant volume that outpaces recruiting capacity.
