Data Architect Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

July 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a chat with the recruiter and then the hiring manager. The hiring manager fired many questions, but in my opinion, I answered all of them correctly.

For only one question, instead of a self-join, I answered recursive CTE and subquery. Except for that, I think it went pretty well.

Right before the interview, my phone had an issue, but the interviewer was kind enough to call me for the third time, and I really appreciate that.

I got rejected after the chat with the hiring manager, and even after asking for any particular positive/negative feedback, the recruiter didn't even bother to get back to me, which I certainly do not appreciate.
