The overall experience was fairly off-putting. I read through all of these reviews prior to applying and I decided to go forward with it, anyway; genuinely curious. I thought there might be some more underlying part of the interview process that other candidates weren't seeing. Either I found out this wasn't the case or I was just way off the charts from what they were looking for, personality-wise. When the internal recruiter scheduled our first interview, a technical glitch was blamed for us not connecting over Google Meet. I thought nothing of it other than figuring I had connected improperly the first time and thought I set a bad first impression. We rescheduled for two days later (both times I had to take time off from work to accommodate) and was dialed into the call about 5 minutes early. The recruiter still connected a couple minutes late. Sort of a red flag. We talked a lot about the company and they threw some personality questions at me, which I expected. The conversation seemed to go well. We even concluded the call with them saying that I would "definitely" hear back on something the following business day. This never happened. I waited a few more business days before following up to try to accommodate for any expected schedules I needed to plan ahead for any coding assessments, etc. Nothing. Collage.com - seriously, based on the previous reviews: you need to stop doing this to candidates. I've read the responses about how you're a start-up and how you take these reviews seriously, but if I were a owner, I'd be seriously concerned with how you're zipping through these interview processes. Based on the aforementioned, I suspect I was ditched on the first meeting time when I waited on the call for 7 minutes with no follow-up. I emailed you and got a response that Google Meet must have made a mistake. So, I'm honestly not buying it. For everyone's sake at Collage.com, either refine your interview process and/or get your recruitement team some help so they're not in a position to make some tough choices on what I believe to be covering for an overloaded schedule. Also - don't ghost your candidates. Or you'll keep getting an overall bad score on GlassDoor.com In all sincerity - good luck getting a handle on your growth you seem to be struggling with.

Was typical and thorough. Easy code screen, short live coding and take home, and finally a bevy of interviews with managers and leadership. Everyone was friendly and seemed to like their jobs.
