Lead Engineer & Director of API Development Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
I was contacted by a recruiter from the organization for a quick screening. His colleague arranged an interview with the manager and a person reporting into him.
The first interview, they didn't show up. I waited 20 minutes!
The interview was rescheduled. The second time, they joined Webex but were completely unprepared – a similar impression you get when you call someone who just woke up.
After the call, there was no feedback, no nothing.
Terrible experience for a serious organization like BlackRock!
