I applied through Glassdoor and got an email from a recruiter to set up a virtual interview, but the earliest time they had was 2 weeks out from the email. Once I got on the virtual call, the recruiter never turned their camera on even once. I was asked the bare minimum of questions and the whole call was only about 6 minutes long. Then I got denied for the position after they told me I was highly qualified. Needless to say, my experience was not great at all.

Behavioral Technical Other
I applied online and a recruiter reached out to me for an interview. The scheduling felt rushed, and the communication came across as inconsistent. After several interview rounds, I was even congratulated and told I had done well, but later they said the position was already filled. The whole process made me feel like candidates were not respected and were treated more like part of an experiment than being seriously considered.

Good in depth interview with some technical questions. Hearing back took a few weeks. Overall good experience. Know your basic multi trade tech skills and answer questions confidently. Again don’t expect to hear back right away.
