It was a pretty easy interview; nothing really hard. There was a Java problem with Lists and a SQL statement to write. Then, a discussion around software development practices.

I was also asked about my experiences with previous companies.

The funniest part about it was I woke up one morning and read my unread emails as part of my morning ritual. I was shocked that I had an email from a GM recruiter claiming that I didn't show up for an interview that morning and asked why.

Well, I told him it's kind of hard to join an interview when nobody contacted you by phone, email, text, etc. I thought it was one of those scam job interview emails that people are getting.

So, I went to the GM careers site and checked the status of my applications. Sure enough, the position was in the status of 'Interview'.

I called the recruiter back and told him not a single person reached out to me in any form to let me know when I had this interview and who I would be interviewing with.

This is not a good look.

In fact, I got ghosted by a recruiter recently for a job where I did receive an email to schedule a phone screen. I also never got contacted about the feedback or next steps for the interview I actually had, rescheduled from December's debacle in January. Pretty sad.

If GM operates this way throughout the rest of the company, then I'll pass on applying to any more positions.
