Data Architect Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
The process started well with the recruiter contacting me, and then I went through the first interview with the VP and Director. The second interview was with two Managers, the third interview with a Data Engineer and a HackerRank assessment, and the fourth was a big project assignment presentation.
The recruiter ghosted later on. Based on multiple follow-ups, they only responded that the hiring team is taking time to understand their need for a skill set for this position. After that, I never heard back.
I totally wasted one month of my time preparing and hoping to get the job. In the end, I learned that the hiring team themselves don't know what they want from their own position, and that's after four rounds of interviews.
Well, too much to expect from "Voted No. 1 Best Place to Work in the Bay Area"...
Questions

- 2.0Good Outlook, Poor Culture, Miserly 401kEngineer • Current EmployeeJune 21, 2022Pros: If culture is the only thing that’s positive, I don’t know how that’s a pro. Also, culture has been hard to sink in for all folks who started remote. Culture is for old-timers alone.Cons: Miserly 401k, badly staffed teams, too many reorgs, pivots, and unaccountable stakeholders. It’s a top-down, take-it-or-leave-it kind of attitude from leaders/old-timers.
