My impression during the interview process is that Flink doesn’t care about people. For the first interview I did not get the calendar invite, and I had thought it was a genuine mistake. However, after second round of interviews, which I had the impression went well, they never bothered to send a rejection or any update. Even after following up after 3 weeks from the last interview, Flink doesn’t bother to reply.

The interview process was quite nice, a couple of business interviews with team members (VP Data, senior data engineer, recruiter) and a mini project to evaluate the technical side of things.

The interview process was pretty standard. They made it clear what the next steps would be, but scheduling between each stage took a while. All in all, it was fine. They could definitely improve their communication though.
