Worst experience twice. In April 2018, I was called for an interview, after going through multiple rounds, I was offered a position in August 2018. I accepted the offer after much deliberation (the worst decision that i took). Right before I was about to join, they had re-organisation, resulting in me not being able to join. That was not all, they still had my name on their payroll, resulting in me receiving letters from Vanguard (401k provider) if that was not all, they also sent me 1095 document to show that I was covered under their insurance.
I guess, HR team never spoke to onboarding/payroll team.
Second experience:
Same job title, called in for onsite interview after multiple screening calls in Sept 2019. After giving interview, they did not had courtesy of reaching out or sending an email to say i was not selected. I took 4 months for them to send an automated email.
The worst experience I ever had.
First and second round is good and they are positive and they schedueld for half an hour but asked for 2hrs and later on no reponse from them , started ghosting and after few days they send your resume is not short listed but i already shortlisted and done with two rounds , so lot of politics and ghosting going there
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SAP in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview was scheduled pretty fast, the first of two rounds was with a recruiter - she was very well-informed about the position (way more than what you'd expect during HR rounds) so by the time I was invited to the second round, I had a general idea about the position. The second round was a technical one, with the hiring manager and two other people from the team. Overall I was amused by the no-nonsense approach, would recommend. The technical round was a bit difficult (partially because I had some gaps with some of the technologies they were asking about), They've also provided feedback about the interview when I asked for it, so I could brush up my skills on some of the things I might've missed.
I applied at the Signavio team and the experience was not great. Obnoxious i'd say. There were a hacker-rank round followed by a tedious coding exercise where my solution was rejected because of lamest of reasons. Whoever assessed my solution had zero understanding of how to curate a proper coding challenge nor write a proper readme around what the expected solution is supposed to look like, But then i realized its impossible to please idiots and moved on. To the recruiter: Be clearer in your discourse. And don't be in a hurry to reject someone. The candidate should be presented with the best opportunity to succeed and not fail!
