Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The recruiter canceled our Google Meet interview five minutes before it was scheduled. They then offloaded me to another recruiter who never contacted me.
The original recruiter ignored my follow-up email. This was unprofessional and strange.
I understand that plans can change internally, but last-minute cancellations and subsequent lack of communication is a poor way to handle such situations.
Questions
“Would you be okay if we rescheduled?” is something a normal person would ask instead.
