Senior Soutions Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia
Process
Six rounds of 10 total.
I bowed out after I was ghosted at round six.
Absolutely insane.
Initial outreach was via internal TA on LinkedIn, with good communication and process. I was kept looped in until I wasn't. Everyone stopped responding to me.
I'm sure the company is great, but let's not kid ourselves. All these big corps are the same. Same level of 'do not give a duck.'
I'm sure it would have been an interesting gig, but I think I've probably dodged a bullet.
