Process

The worst experience I ever had. A recruiter/HR reached out to me on LinkedIn asking to apply on a job posting for multiple Java dev positions at UBS. I never spoke to any HR from UBS on call ever so was completely unaware about the way they were going to interview. I asked them to explain me the process- I didn't hear anything back. They asked me to send them my availability for interview which I did, but nothing for the next 1 month. They reached out again asking for new availability and scheduled a virtual video interview on Skype. On the day of interview I had 3 separate rounds which I didn't know. One was with the hiring manager, 2nd one was with a lead developer and the third one was a 1hr technical interview.

They had mentioned in the email that it's not going to be more than 45 minutes. But it went on till 2 hrs which was highly unprofessional. The interviewer was very rude and arrogant. In the end of the interview the interviewer asked me i I had any questions to which I said I have. Only 1 out of 5 questions was answered. The question that was answered for that too I was reprimanded because I had just asked what will be my designation and apparently I wasn’t supposed to ask lol. After the interview it left me frustrated and angry.

A week later after persistently following up with the same HR that reached out to me - she finally replied saying that they were considering me for the role. I got excited and asked her to let me know further details. I never got response then from the HR. She kept on viewing my messages on LinkedIn but didn't have the courtesy to at least give me an update. I understand every one is busy but this was a highly unprofessional behavior. It was a complete waste of time.
