Had 4 total rounds split across two weeks, the first three went awesome, the last one had to be cancelled due to availability issues of the interviewer (senior director), recruiter reached out saying they will reach out as soon as they know more and may amend the interview process. What does amend the process mean? Update: 4-5 days after I sent a followup but no response yet (been 3 days since I sent the email) Yoe: 5 TC: 167K
Elastic interview process is a shit show. I went through several rounds with them only to be told that the role was closed due to a reorg (not another candidate getting it). Felt like an org in constant internal disarray IME.
The role I was interviewing was a new role, I will be setting up the team and work on stuff. Thanks for sharing
I had a similar issue with Elastic few years ago.
They are a hot mess. I’ve been in contact with a recruiter for some roles over the past month and they keep changing or removing openings - it’s clear they have no clue what they want on that team. I let them know I was no longer interested.
Surprisingly, it is the case even 2024.
Have trust in the recruiter and wait. Thats the only card you can play
Thank you
No worries. Recruitment is busy everywhere and it can happen things slow down. Also, if you cleared already some interviews, your details are on file. I heard good things about elastic so if i were you i’d wait a bit and if in ten day’s things havent cleared, id restate my interest with the recruiter again via email, always being nice and without sounding entitled. I know waiting sucks, but its part of the game. If you push too hard, you will also sound too eager to join which will backfire if you need to negotiate your offer
