Standard tech interview with a phone screen, followed by a virtual onsite with 5-6 rounds. I had a bad experience overall.
The recruiters were pretty unprofessional and did not seem to make much of an effort in getting my interview scheduled, nor in keeping me in the loop about it.
For example, they would ask for dates and times that would work for me, and I would give them a number of days 1-2 weeks out. Then, a week later, I would not hear from them and would have to follow up. I would get a response that they were "working on it," and then not hear anything back. Two weeks would pass – the entire window of time I had given them options for – and I would have to follow up again, as all the dates I had given them were now in the past. It was like they forgot about me, but they did this several times. Way to make your candidates feel respected and prioritized 🙄.
Also, in the onsite, one of the interviewers canceled last minute (not sure if he had a legitimate emergency or if he just flaked). This meant I had to have that final round scheduled for a completely different day the following week, dragging out the process.
The interviewers were decent and asked questions of average difficulty, with the exception of one gentleman who was probably the rudest person I have ever had as an interviewer. Anyone who exploits the interviewer/interviewee power differential to treat others badly is an a-hole in my book.
