Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted by a PTC recruiter and had the initial screening interview, which went well. I then was asked to interview with one of the Directors in Global Services, which was scheduled via phone. The Director did not show up twice for our scheduled time.

He did show up the third time, after being rescheduled by the recruiter. The recruiter's feedback after the interview was that "he loved me" and that I was progressing to the next level. A video interview was then scheduled with the Director of Global Services, who was to be the hiring manager for all PM's.

I spent a lot of time preparing for this interview and then never received any sort of follow-up from the recruiter or company. I have sent 3 follow-up emails, to simply put some closure to the process but I was never even given the courtesy of a response.

Questions

The most difficult for me was being nervous about being on video.

I had never been requested to do a video interview before.
