Process

I applied through an employee referral.

Cohesity has a pathetic interview process. It has been more than 30 days since my second interview but I haven't yet heard back. The recruiter is also not replying back. The first interview was scheduled with the recruiter as a phone interview. She was very unprofessional but I was very interested in the company so I kept on answering to her questions. She was basically reading off my resume and talking about herself and her experience.

The next week I had a face-to-face with a few of their engineers. This was technical interview. One month after this interview I have been contacting the recruiter, and she is not replying to any of my emails. Secondly, I was interviewed by for manager and he was doing a behavioral interview – standard questions. The manager shows up to the interview almost 30 minutes late. When he came in the interview and told me it is time for me to have lunch and he said he was apologetic because he was not informed about the interview which was a red flag. I got my lunch, and it was a non-vegan meal which I specified when I sent the email. I also did a interview with the recruiter and she seemed very eager to leave and finish. She had no interest in interviewing me.

Then I finally finished the interview. After this I got an email from the recruiter which said that my application is under consideration. I haven't heard back from them at all. I contacted the recruiter and manager and have not heard anything back. I don't understand why do these guys hire unprofessional recruiters if all the interview process is so miserable and poor. I think this company is going into the ground, the hiring process is pathetic
