Rackner interview questions

The interview process starting off with the company principal contacting me about the role. She contacted me numerous times and was very discoordinated regarding the process. I took the interview and then asked for feedback after a reasonable time. They kept ducking my emails and calls as if I did not exist. They finally responded by indicating that I didn't get the role. Alright, well that wasn't great in itself but live and let live right? No, the recruiter contacted me and asked me why I wasted everyone's time when there were better candidates. Now get this, I have 26 years of experience and I am a Cloud Architect. This was a basic cloud administrator role. I could NEVER recommend this company based upon that level of unprofessionalism or take a future role with them once the economy gets better. Like companies do, I keep permanent records of these encounters as to avoid future issues.

I have applied and interviewed for 2 positions at Rackner. Both interview experiences were the most unprofessional and negative interactions I have had with a company. Due to this, I will no longer consider applying to any positions at Rackner. The first time around (a few months ago), I applied online and was contacted immediately to schedule an interview. I was completely qualified for this position per the job description. Upon entering the interview, the HR rep reveals that they have hidden requirements and want extra years of experience, none of which is labelled on the job description. After confirming that the interview is for the job I applied for, the HR rep reveals that because of these hidden requirements, they determined that I was going to be "probably a no" before the interview even started, but that they wanted to interview me to see if I would give them insight into a government project I have experience with. I find this to be completely backward and unprofessional. I am not good enough to meet your hidden requirements for a job, but I have enough experience that I should just tell you proprietary information to give you an advantage in contracting a government project for free? Despite all of this, they say they will reach out in 2 days with a decision, and they ask me to follow up if I do not hear anything. 2 days come and go and I follow up as they asked, only to be ghosted. Months pass and recently I applied for a second position, hoping that the first experience was just a fluke. I apply for a remote role that I am yet again completely qualified for. I am asked for an interview within 24 hours. I get into the screen interview, and they reveal that they are looking for someone who lives in a specific city to work on a hybrid schedule, not remote. After confirming this interview is for the job I applied, I learn more about the position and learn that the gov project this position supports has an office in my city, and that I have direct experience with it. I bring this up, but the HR rep does not seem motivated to make anything work. I am told yet again to hear something within 2 days and to reach out if I don't. This time, I get an automated rejection message, and feeling like they wasted my time again because they are not being fully transparent in their job descriptions. I would be very cautious applying for a job with Rackner. The lack of transparency and honesty in their hiring process along with the lack of respect for candidates are huge red flags for me. During both interviews, I was not given any additional information about the company and the HR reps did not want to sell it to me at all. I find it amazing how they can and will treat people like this, especially with being in an industry where there is an extreme shortage of workers with a security clearance.
