I applied online for an entry-level Software Developer job. A recruiter reached out the next day to set up an interview. An hour before, she messaged me saying the role was canceled and she'd update me if anything changed. The job posting was removed. A couple of weeks later, it was reposted, and I didn't hear back from her. I emailed her to check in, but got no response. I tried to reapply, but the system said I already had. I then used a different email to apply again, and the same recruiter contacted me for an interview. On the interview day, I was stood up with no prior or follow-up communication. I asked about rescheduling, but heard nothing. A contact inside the company connected me with a director. She admitted the recruiters were difficult to work with and scheduled an interview herself. I had a screening with her, followed by one with another director. She asked for my availability for an on-site interview. I provided it, but received no response. Two weeks later, I followed up with both directors, but still nothing. I'm appalled by this lack of professionalism and respect.

Went decently well but did not get the position, as they probably found a better candidate, as I didn't actively know all the programming languages they used, make sure to know Javascript HTML and what the .NET stack is before the interview.

So at Generac Grid Services, the interview process is in two parts. First, you'll meet the VP who's in charge of where the company is going. This is your chance to talk about your skills and what you could bring to the company. After that, you'll meet the team you'd be working with. You'll talk to your future boss, who knows the team's work well, and also a senior person on the team with a lot of experience. This chat is to really get into the team's projects and what they're dealing with. Generac Grid Services wants to make sure you and the company are a good fit. These talks help you see if the role is right for you and how you can help the company succeed.
