Director of Engineering Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I spoke with a recruiter and was then scheduled for an interview with the Senior Director of Engineering via Zoom. The interview was allocated 45 minutes, but we spoke for an hour on a Friday afternoon. We got along great, and my experience was highly relevant to the role. I was told to expect follow-up interviews the next week, but instead, on Monday at noon, I received a "thanks for your interest, goodbye" letter with no further explanation. I asked the recruiter for clarification and was ignored.
