Very poor reflection on the company. The interview process started with a screen that was fine to explain your background. Where it gets really ridiculous is the next stages. First off, the recruiter is pretty much non-responsive, and you get zero information on the interview process.

For example, I specifically asked what the interview process was and what areas it would focus on, e.g., data architecture, engineering, platform design, etc., but got no response.

First interview: Could not get any information on what the interview was even about, as the recruiter did not reply. Went well and JDI focused.

Second Interviewer: Got an email 10 minutes beforehand that the interviewer could not attend. I understand things happen, but I had to email the recruiter multiple times to have this rescheduled, to which I got no reply until eventually, it was scheduled. Enquired what this technical interview was about and got no reply. Anyway, long story short, I spent time checking Glassdoor and company/interviewer information to figure out what technical area would be asked and prepped for compliance, end-to-end data design, and pipeline design. The interviewer shows up and asks me data architecture questions, to which I had prepped nothing and as such, didn't answer at all well.

Overall, the most frustrating part of this interview is I feel there was no reason it should have not gone well, other than I simply could not figure out the process. It really comes across as the interviewer shows up and checks, "Do you know what they know at a given time?" and if you have not guessed what area of tech they will ask you about, you will struggle. Honestly, very disappointing and a very poor reflection on the company, as it is meant to be a great place to work, I hear.

Result: No idea, as I got no response from the recruiter when I followed up twice. But really disappointed, as I really feel I could have easily passed the technical interview.

Thoughts on data warehousing, thoughts on compliance in data, etc. Honestly, I couldn't even tell you the theme, as it all seemed off the top of my head.
