The first phone interview was really relaxed. Anthony (the recruiter) is a great guy. This was not a technical interview. I got the interview right out of the career fair at my university.
Solicité el puesto por otro medio. El proceso duró 8 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Qumulo en abr 2024
Entrevista
The process of the interview was the next:
1. Phone call with the recruiter
2. Zoom call with the hiring manager
3. Take home technical assessment (full-stack app)
4. Meeting with the team (hiring manager, PM, and engineer) to discuss the assessment and answer questions
5. Algorithms interview with a senior engineer
6. Web-coding interview with the hiring manager
7. Leadership interview with the CTO
8. System design interview with EM
I would say I enjoyed all the chats, questions, and problems given to solve to showcase my skills. I always had my chance and time to ask questions.
However, once we finished the interview process and I asked for a final feedback, the recruiter told me to wait 2-3 weeks as they not ready to proceed with an offer and want to evaluate other candidates before returning back with feedback.
After 3 weeks of waiting I sent a follow-up message to the recruiter. No response. Follow-up message to the hiring manager also left without response. Then recruiter replied back saying that they selected another candidate. Overall it took me a month to get a feedback.
I understand that I could have done better (especially at algorithms and system design interviews), but you are not FAANG company to make people go through 7 rounds of interview and a take home assessment just to leave candidates in the dark for a month without any feedback and ignore their messages.
