I applied online. I interviewed at Generac Power Systems
Interview
The most disrespectful experience I've had yet.
I applied online to an entry level Software Developer role. The next day, a senior recruiter reached out to schedule an interview. An hour before the interview, she emails me saying the role is cancelled and will let me know if anything changes. I see that the role is taken down. A couple of weeks later, it's reposted and I don't hear anything from her. I send her an email to check in. Nothing. I attempt to re-apply to the role but it says that I've already applied. I try and see what happens if I send in the same exact application using my second email. The SAME recruiter reaches out to my second email asking again for an interview. The day of the interview comes and I get stood up, without an email from her before or after. I ask if we should reschedule. Nothing.
I had a contact within the company who then gets me in touch with a director. She acknowledges the recruiters are hard to work with and schedules to interview me herself. I do a screening with her and then one with another director. She asked me to let her know when I'm available for an on-site. I send her my availability. Nothing. Two weeks later I send a follow-up to her and the other director. Still nothing.
I am just appalled and disappointed. I perhaps should not have been surprised as the recent reviews for this company do not look good. This is a company that does not value professionalism and respect. A simple, "we will not be moving forward with your candidacy due to this reason" would have taken them SO far, but not one of the three people I was in contact with could spare the two seconds.
To quote one of the recent reviews, "Avoid if possible."
I interviewed at Generac Power Systems (Waukesha, WI)
Interview
Had 3 rounds of interviews
Phone call- with HR manager
Virtual- With Hiring Manager
In person- with IT HR and hiring manager
Still waiting to hear back after the 3rd round
Same as the other candidates. Weird 3 round interview only to be completely ghosted after. There seems to be only one HR person which gave no communication. To me it just looks like a company that’s trying to cut corners (based on actual job reviews).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Biggest strength/weakness and what my prospecting strategy is
4 rounds in total.
First a informal interview with the hiring manager and then one with the recruiter. They give you a mechanical technical knowledge test.
And finally multiple panel rounds from different departments
