Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Apply through LinkedIn.
  2. Recruiter email to have a recruiter screen.
  3. Technical screen.
  4. Virtual onsite, but hiring manager screen first, and then 3 technical rounds:
    • 1 system design
    • 1 coding
    • 1 API design round.

Questions

The hiring manager did not have a clue what to do with me, as he did not know that the technical interviews were scheduled after his interview. He also did not wait until my interviews were finished at the end of the week to make a decision; the decision was made even before my technical interviews were completed.

It seemed like they did not know what to do with my case or situation. Overall, the organization of the interviews was very unprofessional, to say the least.

The lack of communication from the recruiter was appalling. I needed to follow up three times to get any sort of communication from them.
