Operations Engineer (DevOps) Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
May 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Phone screening with easy "Tell me about yourself" questions.
Recruiter contacted me initially via LinkedIn but didn't bother giving me feedback. I wrote an email asking about the status, and received nothing.
Bad recruiting practice: no feedback, no contact. Just a big waste of time.
