August 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had an initial call with a recruiter, then met with the hiring manager, then had a panel interview with 3 engineers.

I never heard anything after the panel interview. I even reached out to the recruiter, Todd Bourque, after not hearing anything for approximately 10 business days. I never heard back.

Questions

Mostly the standard set of behavioral interview questions, including:

  • What's a large project that you've worked on?
  • What's a big challenge you've faced during a project, and how did you resolve it?
