Contacted by recruiter, but warned the position was for someone typically more senior. Scheduled interview for the following week after phone screen. Interview was one on one but supposed to be group, the others were just busy. The interviewer went over my experience and had me describe items and how they were probably created and why certain design decisions were made. I was then asked questions that tested my engineering background and understanding, given a tour and a chance to ask my own questions.

I applied to D&K Through a connection who works at the company. I was walked through the hiring process and passed onto the hiring department for a technical phone screening. I did not hear back for roughly two weeks and had to reach out to my connection to set up the screening. The screening went well and I was told I would hear back from HR the following week for a panel interview. I did not hear from HR for about a month, and had to set up the panel interview directly through my connection. The interview was scheduled 3 days after this email. I was sent an invitation and asked if that date worked. I did not get the job, but I was more disappointed that I was never sent a formal email from HR to inform me of this. Overall, the process took just over 13 weeks from first contact to when I found out I did not get the job. This process was extremely unprofessional and gave me the impression my employment was not of interest to D&K. Moreover, seeing that other reviews went through this process in 2 weeks or less and received adequate communication is extremely disheartening. My feedback to D&K is to treat all applicants the same during the interview process and value everyone who is interested in their company. Having worked for over a year in school with this company, my perception of their engineers and managers is excellent and I can tell they treat their employees well. However, this process and the way I was treated makes me feel otherwise about the company.
