Behavioral Presentation

I talked to 3 people: the recruiter, the Mid Market sales manager, and the VP of sales. The last person I met was really rude. It feels like people got too comfortable and need a wake-up call. I would never interview or recommend anyone to interview here because I got the vibe they'll get rid of you if you don't play their bad politics.

A senior recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. It was honestly the worst recruiter experience I've had. It felt like they were just trying to meet their quota and completely wasted my time. They were late and obviously didn't prepare. The recruiter started by saying "Hmm let's see here what are we working with." They didn't provide any company info or ask if I had questions. The job was in Austin, and since I'm in a different state, I asked if they were open to other locations. They said yes, but then during the call, they mentioned it would be an issue. They never followed up, which made it seem like they were just going through the motions. This was a really bad look for Rubrik, and I wouldn't want to work for a company with that kind of work ethic from a senior recruiter.

Behavioral Presentation

So the interview process at Rubrik was pretty thorough and structured, which I guess shows they really wanna build a solid team. I had four interviews with some senior leaders. They gave me a good rundown of the role and what they expected. The interviewers were cool, professional, and always positive, which made it tough but also good. What was awesome was how the recruiter kept in touch the whole two months. They let me know what was coming up, gave me updates on timing, and answered all my questions so I never felt lost. It was a lot, pushing me to really explain my skills and experience, but it's clear Rubrik likes to be thorough and make sure everyone's a good fit. The structured interviews and the recruiter's support really made Rubrik look professional and like they care about the candidate.
