I submitted my resume through a former colleague and current Asynchrony employee in the middle of November. I was contacted via email by a recruiter two weeks later to schedule a phone screening. I responded immediately but it took a week for the recruiter to be available. We agreed on 7:30 am. I called the recruiter a few minutes after 7:30 and had to leave a voicemail. I decided to wait a few more minutes before leaving for work. Approximately 10 minutes later, the recruiter called back. He didn't mention the fact that he'd missed our scheduled time. The conversation was relatively brief. He gave me information on the company, asking me what I was looking for and why I wanted to work at Asynchrony. He asked about the compensation I was looking for. He then rather dismissively said I wouldn't get paid anywhere near that and would have to take a 10% pay cut from my current job. He then said I was currently overpaid. He told me to think about whether the compensation would be acceptable and get back to him. After talking with my former colleague, he suggested I go through with the interview and negotiate the salary then. I emailed the recruiter to proceed and he asked me to complete a coding test and skills summary. I completed both over the weekend. On Wednesday, I emailed asking if he'd received them but didn't get an answer. The next Tuesday, I called. He answered, was polite, but stated I was not a good fit for the company. I asked for clarification but was given a vague answer about them being a very unique, high performing company. My skills were not where they needed to be. He also claimed to have emailed me a week earlier letting me know as much. I won't say he was lying, but why he didn't respond to my earlier email I don't know. After reading the other interview reviews on Glassdoor, and talking to my former colleague, this was not at all what I expected. Certainly I didn't expect it to last 5 weeks. I felt like I was bothering the recruiter and I didn't get a real chance to prove myself. I would have loved the opportunity for an in person interview. Alas, it was not meant to be. Everyone I have talked to at Asynchrony has great things to say, and I believe it truly is a great place to work. My poor experience with them I believe is the exception, but was still very disappointing for me.
