Process
The recruiter was extremely pushy in the beginning, constantly following up and trying to get me to consider the opportunity. However, as soon as I didn’t express interest, they completely disappeared.
It feels like this behavior is more about the recruiter’s approach rather than Costco itself.
Questions
They asked me about some conceptual topics related to the role, as well as to analyze a piece of code they provided. They wanted me to identify what was wrong with the code and suggest how to fix it.
