The interview process was relatively straightforward, there was an initial phone screen, then a single interview round which consisted of a technical portion with an engineer and a behavioural portion with the team manager.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you've dealt with conflict in the workplace

Interview
I was contacted by the lead technical recruiter for the Software Engineering Intern position, and we scheduled a call to discuss the next steps. However, on the day of the call, the recruiter emailed me just 10 minutes before to reschedule. While I initially gave her the benefit of the doubt, the next day, she failed to call me altogether, claiming that she had forgotten to add it to her calendar. I attempted to schedule another call, stressing the importance of prompt communication, but once again, the recruiter forgot to follow through. As a student, my time is valuable, and it is unacceptable for recruiters to waste it in this way. I am outraged by this level of incompetence and lack of professionalism. If you are unable to perform the basic task of showing up to scheduled calls, you have no place in a role as crucial as recruiting.
