Lack of coordination and communication between the recruiter and hiring manager. Team members appeared disengaged and did not want to be there at all, they looked like they hate their job. Waste of time.

I couldn't be more upset or disappointed in the interview process. To start, the recruiter was horrible at communicating and responding to emails. At the end of our initial interview, she said she was emailing me the coding take-home assessment right then. I didn't receive it for almost 48 hours, and that was also over 24 hours after I emailed her to follow up and ask for it. Then, she didn't include the files I needed to complete the assessment, and when I realized and emailed her, it took a week for her to respond and send me the files. Additionally, after I was told my assessment was reviewed and I advanced to the next round, which was presenting it to two Solutions Engineers, she called me 45 minutes before my interview was scheduled to start and says they added a last-minute live coding portion to the interview. As someone who struggles with anxiety and gets very nervous and tends to blank during live coding interviews, not being able to prepare, and being given only a 45-minute heads up is beyond unprofessional, disrespectful, and frustrating. I received feedback that my take-home assessment and presentation of it were great, however I didn't pass the live coding portion. So I excelled at the part I had time to prepare for, but I didn't do well at the part I wasn't given time to prepare for. I've dealt with bad recruiters and frustrating interview processes before, but these were by far the worst. I honestly think I dodged a bullet with this company.
