Data Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The worst hiring team I have ever communicated with.

I had a 9-5 virtual onsite interview. I was scheduled for a session with the recruiter from 9:00 to 9:15 AM, but she showed up at 9:13 AM and rushed me through it. They never replied to any of my emails for days throughout the process, and the schedule they sent me changed twice. I had no idea who was going to interview me or what to expect.

I did mention I had other offers and would like to know about the results within three days to get back to others, but they never even replied to my follow-up email until ten days later.

The interview did go well; I'm not sure what happened behind the scenes. If it weren’t for the company’s name, "Apple," I wouldn’t have even considered proceeding with such a recruiting team.

P.S. I received a really great offer from another great company. Blessing in disguise 🙌
