eLEND Interview Questions
& Process

I had an initial phone screen, and then I got asked to do a MS Teams interview with two interviewers. Even though there were some tech issues, it went pretty well and I thought I'd hear about a third interview, but that never happened. They told me they were going in a 'totally new' direction.

There was about an hour long initial phone chat with the hiring manager. Then, a four hour on-site interview happened with five different people: the hiring manager, HR, the president, and two others. I had a bad feeling I wasn't going to get the offer when the hiring manager didn't even walk me out after my last meeting. After that interview finished, I waited in the conference room for about 10-15 minutes until someone from reception came in and told me the hiring manager wasn't coming back. A few days after the on-site, the recruiter called me and said the total compensation was now 10% less than what I was told before. The process was supposed to take 2-3 weeks, but it actually took 5 weeks, and I really felt like they were just stringing me along.

I had a phone call screening with the HR first and then two short walk-in interviews on the same day, first with the same HR, and second with a senior team member. The HR interview went well. She asked me to talk about myself, while she flipped through my resume. The next interview was a bit trickier. I got the feeling that he had already made up his mind within the first two minutes of the interview. He said I was too technical for the role and he sort of fumbled a bit through exactly what he was looking for. His description was so hazy and somewhat incoherent, I was feeling a bit down later on for wasting my time. If you didn't want someone technical, you should not have called in someone with an IT background. Or maybe there was some other reason they didn't like me. But that's what I felt.

We did a phone call first, then an in-person meeting. I also met with some managers at the company. After that, we had more calls and meetings to talk about the final offer.
