Entrevista
Average interview process, made it to the final round but did not get an offer. For how many interviews and how long the process was I was expecting to hear back from someone rather than a workday notification. I followed up with the HR contact and they never answered. It was over two months from applying to finally hearing back I did not get the position, and about two weeks between second and third round interviews, so the process lagged.
Three rounds of interviews: HR screening, Hiring Manager one on one, and then three individual interviews with peers labeled a panel. The third round really should've just been a panel as all three asked the same questions, it took up way more time having to have three individual meetings.
Overall a fine process, communication and respect for interviewee and interviewee's time could be slightly improved.
DISCRIMINATORY DO NOT INTERVIEW. I got an email from a Comcast recruiter at 3 am telling me the salary (low-ball offer) was non-negotiable, while their posted range went up to 216k. In the office 4 days a week, also non-negotiable. Would I like to interview starting that day at 9 am?
I replied in the afternoon and pointed out the stated range. She said she may go a few k up, blaming corporate for the inaccurate range, and with equity, it'd be in my range. Equity isn't guaranteed. I also asked for accommodation for neurodiversity for the in-person policy and told her I have documentation. She said she'd ask and came back saying no to both salary and that the "client demands" in office 4 days a week, no exceptions.
I'm pretty sure that's illegal if you ask for accommodation, will take the emails to a lawyer.
