The first step was a conversation with the recruiter. She asked about my salary expectations, and instead of confirming that was acceptable, started talking about their bonuses. That was a huge red flag.
Next up was a 10-minute multiple-choice HackerRank test, which was just ridiculous JavaScript trivia. Since I know how to Google things, I made it to the next round.
I gave them multiple times I was available for a tech screen, and it took them a week to get back to me, at which point they had scheduled it for the next day. Thanks for the 24-hour notice after ignoring me for a week.
They use Webex, which literally nobody else does. So I had to create an account and install the app. The instructions they sent said I would have a meeting in my meetings tab. I did not.
It said I would get a notification 5 minutes before the scheduled time. I did not.
Once the interview started, and I had no way to join, they sent an email asking if I was having issues and including a link I could use to join the meeting. When I clicked on the link, it wanted to install a completely different app. At that point, I had had enough.
Can you Google JavaScript trivia?
