Senior Quality Engineer Interview Experience - Redwood City, California

September 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

According to the recruiter, the process consisted of an initial screening round via Zoom, followed by a final onsite (virtual) round comprising a 5-hour interview.

  • The screening went well; the interviewer was great and asked about my experience, some technical questions, and two coding exercises.
  • I had to wait for about 20 days to receive feedback.
  • Then, they asked me to provide my availability for the onsite interview (around 6 hours via Zoom).
  • On the day of the interview, everything was set, and I had taken a day off from work. Suddenly, a couple of hours before the interview was to begin, the recruiter sent an email apologizing and explaining that a recent company reorganization had led to changes in job requirements. Overnight, I was no longer considered a suitable candidate, and therefore, they would cancel the interview.

What? Everything changed overnight? You made me wait so long, and I invested my time and effort, which you failed to appreciate before suddenly disqualifying me.

Well, all I can say is that the hiring practices in this organization are unprofessional. It is certainly true that a company's work culture and ethical standards are reflected in its hiring culture. They have no respect for others' time. A company that does not respect others' time can never have a good work culture. I am SAVED! So, please keep this in mind before you speak with the recruiter.
