I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Cogent Communications in Mar 2024
Interview
Spoke with a recruiter to learn more about the position. They did not seem to know my background, spoke in generalities about the company and position, and had a very unprofessional demeanor. It did not feel like this recruiter took their listing or this conversation seriously. I feel like the interview was an entire waste of my time and it became obvious very quickly why this company has the reviews that it does.
Met with the hiring manager over Zoom. Lasted about 40 minutes. It was all basic interview questions. A lot of questions about how good am I at prospecting. Quick response from the hiring team after the interview.
