My overall experience with this interview process was highly disorganized, and those involved showed little regard for the candidate experience. I was initially approached about the role and was curious to learn more. My first recruiter provided a general overview of the process, outlining the steps as follows: Recruiter Screen → Hiring Manager Interview → Virtual Onsite. However, this order was later changed without any prior communication. While I understand that processes evolve, providing candidates with a simple update would have been professional and appreciated. The initial recruiter screen took place close to the holidays, so I didn’t expect an immediate response. However, once the holidays passed, I had to follow up twice before hearing anything. Eventually, I was asked to formally complete an application and submit availability to meet more of the team—this communication came from a different recruiter, who mentioned that we would have a call to go over the next steps. After submitting my availability to meet with the team, I was scheduled for a virtual onsite the following week. When I reached out to the recruiter for guidance on what to expect, I received no response—radio silence. It wasn’t until the morning of the interview that I finally received an email outlining the four rounds and mentioning that I needed to prepare a presentation. This was a complete surprise, as I had asked in my initial recruiter screen if any preparation would be required and was told it wasn’t necessary. This left me scrambling to put together a presentation within just a few hours. During one of the virtual onsite interviews, an interviewer seemed completely unprepared, frazzled, and disorganized when I asked about the team and role, which raised concerns about the company’s internal organization. The rest of the interviews were fairly standard. After completing the interviews, I sent a thank-you note and was told the recruiter would follow up. Once again, I was met with radio silence. I had to follow up again before finally being informed that they would not be moving forward with my candidacy. Final Thoughts: While some interviewers acknowledged that they were working on improving the candidate experience, my experience was far from positive. The lack of communication, last-minute preparation requirements, and overall disorganization made this one of the most frustrating interview processes I’ve been through. I would not interview with this company again, and I hope they take actionable steps to improve their candidate experience in the future.
