Director of Engineering Interview Experience - Salt Lake City, Utah
Process
Fidelity reached out via LinkedIn. I had an initial recruiter call, followed by a 30-minute hiring manager call.
I was then scheduled for a panel interview, and this is when things broke down. I could never get an answer on what type of panel interview this was. I asked the scheduler, and they had no idea. I emailed the recruiter to ask, and they never responded.
I went into the panel interview not knowing what to expect, only to find out it was a technical panel and that they were expecting to see the architecture of one of my previous projects. I scrambled to put something together on the spot.
One of the interviewers asked me a lot of questions that were not at all related to any of my experiences or the job description. It seems like a very dysfunctional interview process. I was ghosted by the recruiter; I haven't heard from them since.
