The overall process is very similar to the process most tech companies are employing these days, everything is via phone of video meeting (pandemic). Following are the main steps:
1. Recruiter reaches out to you to set up a short phone chat. The recruiter found me via LinkedIn.
2. Recruiter asks general questions, not to in depth at all. One thing that that was very different with this particular recruiter/company is that after asking me the pay I would accept, he gave me a yearly rate for the role, up front. He literally said, "This role is 85,000/yr salary, is that OK?" Recruiter requested I send writing samples, and told me someone would be in touch to set up a call with the hiring manager.
3. 30 minute interview with hiring manager. Great chat, again, just general questions for the field: Why this company, tell me about yourself, ...
4. Longer interview with hiring manager and 3 team members. For this particular department, I found that the team members were all newer to the company and all but one, new to the workforce (newer college grads). They asked general behavioral questions, but something struck me in their questions. They kept asking the same question (sometimes rephrased, and one time they wanted more info and examples from me): Have you worked with difficult people and how did you handle it?
After that that longer interview I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING BACK. I found this un professional and for that reason will not ever recommend that company. I strongly feel that if I've invested all this time into interviewing with you, the least you could do is send me a quick email to tell me you will not be proceeding with me. How would the company feel if they set up the hours-long interview with everyone and I do not show up?
