I applied online via Glassdoor and after 1 month a recruiter contacted me. The recruiter sent over several email questions and then presented my responses to the hiring manager. The recruiter followed up with a long list of technical programming experience question since they were beyond my skill set I withdrew my application. I was contacted again and asked to speak to the hiring manager. I had a Zoom video call with the hiring manager which was pleasant but not encouraging. She said they mostly teach virtually using Zoom and that the class can have up to 25 students. Based on my many years of experience as a trainer that instructor to student ratio Is not good instructional practice. I withdrew my application because I want to work for a company that honors good instructional practices when educating customers.

My interview process began with an initial conversation with the talent acquisition lead, followed by individual interviews with two different hiring managers. After receiving an final technical interview invitation, I confirmed my attendance via email. Since I had accepted the meeting on a different account, I was later emailed to confirm my attendance. I responded over the weekend before the scheduled technical interview, confirming that I would be attending. However, it seemed they hadn’t seen my confirmation. On the day of the interview, I joined the Zoom call and waited for others to join. When no one showed up, I called the talent acquisition lead and was informed that the interview had been canceled because they hadn’t received my confirmation. During this call, I was also told that the position had already been filled. Afterward, I forwarded my original confirmation email to the talent acquisition lead, but did not receive a response. This experience was disappointing and felt unprofessional, especially considering the time and effort I had invested in multiple rounds and the effort put in to prepare for the techncial interview.
