Recruiter called and asked if I was interested in the role as described. It looked interesting, so went through.
There were 3 steps:
1 Recruiter (Phone)
2. Director (Phone)
3. VP, Director, Manager (Onsite, no reimbursement of travel cost offered)
The interview process was quite interesting, especially seeing as I'd never heard of the company and only had basic knowledge. I have made this clear all through the process.
The phone interviews were more or less a basic knowledge and personality skills test. The onsite interview was more in depth. The VP gave a few examples of the software and asked how certain scenarios could be solved. The Director and Manager part was a presentation to see if you could describe and had some understanding of the product.
In the end I didn't get the job and got a very basic refusal mail. Upon enquiring, there was no explanation. I was told I didn't fit the requirements, but this was known at the first step. I feel that not too much effort was put in the refusal
My negative experience is only due to the recruiter. The rest of the process was quite enjoyable and educational
