Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved three stages: a recruiter call, a hiring manager interview, and a technical review. Despite not receiving an offer, the applicant felt misled by promises made by CDW's management and recruiting staff. The recruiter offered concierge-like support and promised feedback if no offer was extended, while the hiring manager offered a personal post-interview review. After the technical review, there was a 2-3 week period of silence. The applicant's attempts to get an update from the recruiter resulted in a generic email instead of the promised personalized feedback. This lack of follow-through left a negative impression.
