After phone screen and a positive acknowledgment the recruiter stopped replying to my email. After requesting my friend who works at Pinterest to check. The recruiter send an on-site invitation. This was after a month of phone screen. The interview was scheduled from 10 to 1:30. I live in South Bay. Left home At 8. Reached by 9:45. Got to know they scheduled 4 interviews back to back without a break. One of the interview asks me a question I solve in first 10 minutes. He is surprised and so looks for another question for next 10 minuets. The last interviewer is angry as if he has he been forced to interview. He is pissed right from the beginning. It’s 1 pm. I am hungry. All I ate was a breakfast at 7 when before I left home. The lunch interviewer just keeps asking questions. Does not let me eat. And when I answer he looks down starts eating. Makes no eye contact. I thought my technical interview went well. But I was really upset and hungry. That I got in to slight argument during lunch. Very poor candidates experience. It’s almost a week since I interview have not heard anything back. I also wrote a follow up email. Not sure what are they up to.
Typically I get a bang (300 caffeine) before the interview. Sips of water to keep the throat clear. You don't feel shit. I hope it gets figured out for you.
Not looking good. Move on
Hm so your recruiter didn’t send out an agenda in advance?
Nope
This is not good, and I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience. Please DM me.
Did they at least provide you with lunch? I usually email the recruiter ahead of time to ask whether or not lunch will be provided, and if not to let me know so that I could bring my own packed lunch.
They specifically mentioned lunch is on us.
Mentioning is one thing. But did they end up giving you lunch?
Please DM me your recruiter name. This should not happen.
Blind is not allowing me to send dms. Working on getting the verification done. Will dm u
Being hangry in an interview never has good outcomes. At the very least, they should have scheduled 30min for a casual talk/lunch instead
Yes, they should have
I interview a lot of people. We always let our candidates eat lunch during a casual conversation. Please DM name of the recruiter and one of us will follow up.
