Process

I received a call from a recruiter and scheduled the first round phone interview with the hiring manager. The interview went well, and I received a call for a second round of phone interviews. However, the recruiter scheduled the second round with the same hiring manager again.

On the day of the interview, the manager called 15 minutes late to explain that he was busy with a meeting and rescheduled the interview for the next day. He called on time the next day and quickly identified that the recruiter had made a mistake in scheduling the interview. He told me he would ask her to schedule the interview with one of his team members.

I didn't hear from the recruiter for three days and then had to email her to get the interview scheduled. The second interview also went well, and I heard from them the same day to schedule the onsite interview. I asked her to schedule it in January, but she insisted on December and stopped responding to me properly. Every time, I had to send an email to get a response to my previous one. I did rearrange my entire schedule and gave them dates for December, but she could not schedule it on those dates.

She then directed me to another recruiter regarding my onsite scheduling, and I didn't hear from her for a week. I had to email her to ask about the onsite scheduling. She told me she would respond in a week, but I didn't hear from her again. I had to email her to get an update when she told me that they had identified an intern to fill the position.

Overall, it was a very bad experience with the recruiters, who were very unresponsive. They do not care about the time and effort candidates put into the interview process. I would not suggest applying here.
