QUARANTINE INTERVIEW:

I was first called by a recruiter to get my basic information and set me up for a phone screening with a technical manager.

The phone screening with the manager was to review my experience and see if I would be a good fit for the role.

After this interview, I was scheduled for a technical interview with one of the engineers. During this interview, I was asked to hand sketch a technical problem regarding beams/material properties. The interviewer added to the sketch as it increased in difficulty.

After this interview, I was then scheduled for 8 hours of WebEx meetings with 9 of their team members. This is where things started to go south...

• I had poor internet connection.
• The audio would cut out while sharing technical details.
• Someone's cat stepped on their ethernet cable.
• Two interviews were interrupted by their kids running around asking for food.
• Frequent miscommunications occurred.
• Inability to share sketches naturally.

There were so many factors that made these interviews extremely difficult and unrepresentative of working in person.

I was informed the same day that I did not receive the position.

Wish it could have gone differently, but oh well.
