Process
My interview experience had three steps:
-
Recruiter Call: After this call, I was ghosted and had to reach out to continue the process. I was not given a salary range for the role.
-
Technical Screen: This was with two engineers. I appreciated that both were women, as I am too.
-
Onsite Interview: This consisted of four interviews over five hours, requiring a day off work. The interviews covered data, system design, coding, and behavioral aspects. The people seemed nice overall, except for one engineer with a very strong accent that was difficult to understand. I was ghosted again after rejection. I tried to reach out to the recruiter for feedback, but I was ignored.
I feel this was a complete waste of my time and do not recommend it.
