After having the initial phone screening I was scheduled for three back to back interviews. My experience turned sour quickly when I ended up waiting 10 minutes for one of my interviewers to show up and then later excused themself for and addition 5 minutes. Ultimately it felt disrespectful to my time given that I already had to set aside 3+ hours for these interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There is a whole interview section for an excel test. Checking general knowledge and data analysis skills.
I applied online. I interviewed at Unified in Jan 2021
Interview
One phone screening with a very fast turn around asking for a 2 hour zoom interview with 3 different people (one at a time) with the last interviewer administering an Excel/Google Sheets assessment via screen share. The first 2 are basic sum/formula functions, and the last one assessing pivot tables.
My issue with this process is that I never heard back after doing a 2 hour interview with them. I was aware my interview didn’t go well (my own fault). However, to ask a person to spend over 2 and a half hours interviewing (not including the hours spent preparing) and to not even give them a standard form rejection email within four weeks after is unacceptable. Even knowing the interview didn’t go well, I sent my thank you and follow up emails and still heard nothing. Overall, the people I talked to were nice enough, but closing the loop is the bare minimum they could have done.

Question 1
Aside from the technical skills mentioned above, most questions were about teamwork and problem-solving
The recruiter was late and seemed very unsure of what he was speaking of during the interview as they were unaware of the position or role that was being interviewed for
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Unified (Washington, DC) in Aug 2022
Interview
I had a 30 min introductory interview with their recruiter. When I asked more about the job he said, "I'm not sure. That's not my department." I understand maybe not knowing day-to-day tasks, but he couldn't even give me a job description. He then asked me on a scale of 1 to 10 how likely I would be to take the job which I responded, "I don't know because you haven't told me anything about the job." I initially told them I would take the next interview round, which included an excel test, but that initial interview gave me weird vibes. I also don't understand why they have to watch you take an excel test. I understand assigning one but watching you take it seems weird and a waste of time for them.
