Recruiter responded to online application and set up two phone interviews. Hiring manager failed to call for initial phone screen and was re-scheduled a week later. First phone screen lasted one hour and consisted of questions regarding management styles, employee retention, and hiring practices. Had to follow up with recruiter for follow-up phone screen which was conducted about 8 days later. Second phone interview was once again one hour and consisted of two team members. Questions consisted of dealing with aggressive schedules and managers who demand delivery of software in an unrealistic time frame. Additional question involved what performance criteria one would monitor using http. The interview was conducted over a speaker phone while the interviewer typed answers into a computer. The interviewers displayed less than desired communication skills, provided no details on the position, and appeared to have limited exposure to disciplined and industry software development standards. Little time to ask questions at the end and the answers were lackluster. Recruiter only reachable via email and took several days for response. I've been in the industry nearly 30 years and I was a bit disappointed with the interview techniques. It will be difficult to attract high caliber experienced candidates unless their process is improved.

The interview process was a standard faang process. I also had to do a writing assignment. The recruiter did a good job of setting expectations. The interview followed the leadership principles well.
