Thank you for your feedback. I am truly sorry you had such a bad experience. Someone from a different team was helping schedule these interviews and there was a bit of confusion on our end. I know it was frustrating on your end. You were very polite and accommodating as we worked this out on our end. To address the flight issue, unfortunately, the needs of the team changed on this position during your interview process. It became more and more clear that the team needed a Sr. Data Engineer. We did still want to interview you to better understand your experience level but did not feel it made fiscal sense to fly you in due to the restraints of your class schedule. The flights were also unusually expensive. You did very well on the Coding/Algorithm portion of the interview but your SQL did not meet the needs of this team for a Sr. Engineer. The time delay in getting back to you was due to the internal discussion from the Engineer who had completed your Algorithm and Programming section and the individuals who completed the SQL portion. Ultimately it was decided that based on the current need for advanced SQL and ETL experience the team decided to pass on you-this was not an easy decision. You are an exceptional candidate and if we had multiple roles we would have moved forward in a heartbeat. I am sorry for any delay and for not checking in with you along the way, that was my fault. I also apologize for the scheduling mix up we had and any inconvenience. You are a very impressive candidate and I am confident we would have extended an offer if the needs of the team had not changed. We appreciate your feedback and you showing us ways that we can improve our process and experience-Thank you again.
