Screener interview with recruiter. He didn't email ahead of time so it caught me off guard a bit. Next was an interview with the hiring manager. She was fantastic and let me know I'd be moving to the next round for a panel interview. This is where things went south. The scheduler contacted me for availability and then scheduled the interview a few weeks out. I asked him if he needed me to open up my availability and he said no, the issue is that the two interviewers weren't going to be available at the same time for a while. Ok. The day of my much-anticipated interview, I got an email about two hours beforehand that they needed to reschedule. It was rescheduled for two weeks out. Then one of the interviewers didn't show up at all to our Zoom and the other was 20 minutes late. (Yes I stayed on the Zoom the entire time.) The scheduler said he would be rescheduling the interview but at that point I was ghosted. I emailed and called my recruiter a handful of times throughout the whole process. I wanted to see if I could get the hiring manager's email to send a Thank You note. I wanted to see if he could give me more information about the interview panelists so I could properly prepare. And I followed up to see if he had an update on the status of the process/the rescheduled interview that didn't happen. He only answered the phone one time (the last time) where he said he had another call and to hold on and then he disconnected after I held for about 3 minutes. Overall, I chalk it up to an awful recruiter.

Intro Call with recruiter First interview asks about past roles and basic interview questions Panel interview with more technical questions Final interview if you get to this stage is usually just to go over role and meet the team
