Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

Process

Applied online and a recruiter reached out and scheduled an interview with the hiring manager. Another recruiter reached out again for the same position, for which I thought was a mistake, but they scheduled another interview with another hiring manager.

The first one went okay, asking about my experience and projects and really drilled deep into random terminology and definitions that didn't really have anything to do with the job description or my past experience. When scheduling the interview with the 2nd hiring manager, my time slot got cancelled 3 times and had to reschedule.

The hiring manager did not show up to the interview and after 10 minutes I had left. Upon asking the recruiters about this, they told me the interview will not be rescheduled and has now been cancelled.

Then a 3rd recruiter reached out for the same position. Overall the experience was poor when having to navigate between 3 different recruiters for the same position and having the hiring manager not show up.
