Interview
HR reached out to me for a “brief conversation,” then stood me up for the first appointment. I sent him an email and he told me he forgot the appointment! Whoa.
Ok I gave him the second try and tried to set up a phone convo again. He never got back to me.
I followed up next week. He said my email went to spam.
I’m left with a disgusting taste. Needless to say I’m no longer interested
Unprofessional, no introductions no interactions with the candidate. For the entire one hour slot was just asked to share a notebook and write codes for one after another problems as a live coding exercise where 3 interviewers were looking over the shoulder. Questions around the problem were not being clarified just asked to write whatever you think, again no interactions just 3 interviewers looking coldly over your shoulder. Have given many interviews that had live coding exercise but never faced such an unprofessional panel.
