A recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn for an initial brief chat.
This was followed by a take-home test and a discussion with a hiring manager.
After that, I had a few video calls, most of which involved two people.
The process took a considerable amount of time, with approximately six to seven rounds of discussions.
I had a good experience speaking with the hiring manager and team members. However, I did not quite appreciate the attitude of the higher managers.
The focus seemed to be more on sales acumen than technical skills, even though the role was advertised as "Solutions Architect."
Recruiters appear to be either overworked or indifferent to candidates' time. Feedback often takes a week or two. After an interview, you might unexpectedly receive an email requesting your availability for the next round, which can feel a bit chaotic.
On several occasions, the recruiter came across as somewhat rude over the phone. When asked "Hi, how are you?", the question was deflected without reciprocation. It's unclear why there's a failure to acknowledge that recruiters are ambassadors for the company.
Under NDA, I cannot disclose.
