The intro call with the HR person was horrible, not truly interested on my background or being able to start a conversation. Just asked generic questions and listened quietly. She was using some kind of VOIP service for the call with a lot of noise in the background and very bad voice quality.
The interview process was well-structured and moved quickly. It began with a standard recruiter screen followed by a technical phone interview. The virtual onsite consisted of three rounds focusing on data structures, system design, and behavioral fit. The coding question about reversing a linked list in place was straightforward, and the interviewers were helpful when discussing edge cases and optimization
Pinged by the job recruiter, she set up a first phone interview with another recruiter, But, that recruiter was too busy. back and forth for about three weeks email about the scheduling. At the time of scheduled time, the recruiter didn't show up for the phone call for couple times. Had to keep scheduling with him for three times before finally talked to him. On the phone, the recruiter seams reasonable. He did pretend to be technical in some area which make the conversation less enjoyable. A week later after the first phone interview with the recruiter, got an email from "NO-REPLY" @cruise email saying "not a good fit". Very sloppy interview process from their side. Maybe the company was better before the GM time? Or may be just this one obnoxious recruiter ? Why any company use an upper case "NO-REPLY" email address to an engineer candidate?
