Staff Engineer Interview Experience - Montreal, Canada
Process
A recruiter contacted me and spoke to me on the phone, then asked me to schedule a technical interview with a third-party interview company.
I scheduled the interview for the next day, worked through some technical questions with the interviewer, and he emailed me to say he has delivered his feedback to Instacart.
That was a month ago, and nothing more has been said to me about my application.
These guys pay recruiters to cold-call you, then they pay somebody else to interview you, and then don't even bother to follow up.
