One of the rare occasions I terminated the interview process; it was that BAD!
Passed the first few rounds (recruiter interview, Karat online assessments), was ready to go to onsite. Then started to have bad feelings.
First, the onsite is long, 7hour long! Longer than even FAANG companies.
Second, 1 of the onsite interviews is a 105-minute coding round on HackerRank which says "After 10 mins, interviewer goes on mute and you’ll have 90 mins to solve on your own." This could just be an online assessment, why do you want to waste 2h of my workday just to have another person watching over my shoulder!
Third, trying to communicate and schedule with the recruiter was a FRUSTRATING experience. The recruiter was a contractor, very unresponsive (think days without response), replied in short sentences without much value. I had to push multiple times to get the information I want.
For a company that praises itself as helping people to find jobs, it provides a very bad experience for its own candidates. Being too frustrated, I terminated the interview loop!
