Software Engineer Interview Experience - Chicago, Illinois

Process

A phone interview with a manager and a fellow engineer both went well. However, it took a few weeks to set up because one interviewer failed to call at the scheduled time, stating he forgot to check Outlook that day.

The next interview was to be with the VP of Engineering over Skype, using a shared document. The recruiter wanted to schedule it during business hours. I balked at that because the only way I'd be capable of doing that would be to find a conference room somewhere and use my current employer's network to interview for a different company. That seemed sketchy to me.

The recruiter then told me they'd bring me in for a full set of interviews. I gave my availability for more than a week out but didn't hear from the recruiter until two days before the full set of interviews. The interviews were then scheduled, which is not enough notice.
