      Senior Big Data Engineer Interview

      10 Oct 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at LivingSocial in Sept 2014

      Interview

      I had a phone interview with someone in HR. Had a very nice interview with her in regards to culture, skill sets and ability to work remotely. I then got a technical interview. Someone else was to schedule that interview. That person never emailed/contacted me. Luckily the person in HR followed up and made sure that the other person send me contact info for a skype chat with technical manager. Had a nice interview with technical manager. Follow up from the original HR person was that I would take a coding challenge. She sent me an email on info to access challenge but there was no info. I followed up and she apologized. Second email still did not have info on accessing challenge. I called her and left VM and emailed her. I have not heard from her since. I have a feeling that the position was filled and they did not have the courtesy to tell me about it. Rather I was given the run around on accessing the challenge.
