The interview process was pretty good overall.
This was my interview experience from the first half of 2016. At the time, I think I was interviewing for a position related to recommendation systems. During the interview, I spoke with the manager and an engineer, and it felt pretty good. We eventually discussed salary expectations, and I gave a figure higher than what I was earning at my previous job. I even got a raise on the spot. I felt fantastic at the time and thought, “This must be the best possible outcome for an interview, right?” Later, the manager said they would arrange another interview for me with the vice president, so I went home to wait for the news.
After waiting for over a week without hearing anything, I emailed HR at around seven in the evening to ask about it. As a result, I was rejected within ten minutes. The whole thing made absolutely no sense.
