It took a while to connect with the recruiter due to missed calls, almost felt ghosted. After finally connecting, I interviewed with the hiring manager and then about 5-6 other people. I thought it went well, but then the recruiters tried to change the role, title, and salary, even though they expected the same QA Manager responsibilities. I declined the offer because of this bait-and-switch. It really damaged the company's reputation for me, and I wouldn't apply to Vertex again.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I went through a really long and in-depth process. It started with a recruiter call, and then I had a live interview. I was super impressed with the recruiter and how much they knew about GCP. The whole experience lasted about three months, and although I didn't get an offer, I think it was mostly because of the number of open positions and maybe waiting on FDA approval. It genuinely seems like a fantastic place to work.
