Software Engineer Interview Experience - Montreal, Quebec

Process

I couldn't even get to talk to the interviewer because of multiple communication issues.

First, we scheduled our first call, and I received a confirmation email with a date and time for my time zone. I also got a link to set up a profile on facebookrecruiting.com.

On that website, I had steps to complete:

  • Upload the latest version of my resume.
  • Select dates in the future so we could schedule the second interview step.

Not long after, I received an email saying that my call was canceled. I waited for another email saying when, or if, the call was rescheduled, which never came.

So I sent an email to the recruiter asking why. He thought that I was the one who wanted to cancel since I updated my availability on the website. I did update it, but for the future steps of the interview, not for the first call.

He then said he rescheduled for the next week without specifying the time. I figured it was going to be the same time as the first call.

On that date, I waited an hour for the call. I sent an email asking if the meeting was at the same time for my time zone. He answered yes. I then said the meeting was an hour ago and asked if, by chance, it was for his time zone. He answered yes again, even though he had already confirmed previously it was in my time zone.

Finally, the time came, and I never got the call.

I went and asked to cancel the meeting and not to reschedule.

Their final email said it was all due to a system error.
