I spoke with the recruiter for half an hour, then scheduled an interview with five people. I had one-on-one conversations with each interviewer.
The first interviewer was a lady who was not dressed properly. She showed up wearing a sweatshirt and with messy hair. She said my answers were too short. Well, that's my personality, and my first language is not English. Why would you expect a developer to talk extensively? I think this is bias.
The second interviewer was the hiring manager and mainly asked technical questions. I couldn't understand his accent most of the time. Even for some questions he asked, I may have known the answer, but because of his accent, I didn't know what he was asking.
The third and fourth interviewers were great to talk with. One even told me he would let me pass.
The fifth interviewer didn't show up because I was five minutes past the time scheduled with the fourth interviewer, and there was no gap between the fourth and fifth interviews. The recruiter said they would reschedule but never did. I guess the hiring manager called it off.
I received a 'not selected' system notification from their system, instead of from the recruiter, which I think is unprofessional. I expected the recruiter would send me an email explaining that they were not going on with the fifth interviewer and that I was not selected. I guess they think people not selected don't deserve any of their time.
What is a heap?
