I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cruise in May 2023
Interview
The recruiter initially reached out, and we scheduled a time to chat. Unfortunately, on the scheduled day, the recruiter was unable to attend the call. Upon reaching out, I learned that the recruiter had been laid off, so it was understandable they didn't make it.
After rescheduling with a different recruiter, our conversation about the company's situation and the role itself felt rather awkward. There were significant changes, including a lowered salary, a different location, and altered responsibilities compared to what was initially advertised. It became evident that the company was experiencing some turbulence.
I expressed to the recruiter that while I might be overqualified for the current role, I would still be open to considering other opportunities in the future. Given the turnover in leadership within the company, I now view this experience as a fortunate turn of events.

Interview
I applied for 2 jobs there. The took weeks getting back to me. When they did, they asked me to interview for a different job. The interviewer asked me questions I could not answer and that were not relevant to the jobs I wanted. He said at the end of the interview that somebody would get back to me, but nobody ever did.
That's not a professional way to treat job candidates.
