Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso H2O.ai (Toronto, ON) nel mese di mag 2024
Colloquio
1. Phone screening.
2. 20 mins tech interview where you are asked to finish an easy Leetcode question.
3. Spend 3 - 4 days to develop an app using a Python lib developed by this company called "H2O Wave".
Firstly, they asked you to spent as long as 4 days on the homework. If you look at the reviews of this company, their hiring process contains a lot of back and forth, and they fire ppl very casually, but even with this tracking record, they expect candidates to invest such a long time into the hiring process.
Secondly, the Python lib called "H2O Wave" developed by them and you are asked to use in the homework is just useless. You can take a look yourself. I don't know what is the point of creating such a lib. If they ask me to create an app using some general technologies like JS, then even if I am not hired, I can learn something at least. But using a lib developed by this company? Where else can I use this knowledge except in this interview? So my 4 days are just completely wasted if I am not hired?
Thirdly, They ghost ppl. They don't reply to your emails after your submit your project. I sent it via email to the hiring manager, no reply; also sent it to the tech manager, no reply either.
I am so glad I didn't let you waste too much of my time."

Colloquio
Was contacted by a TA team member and asked to schedule an introductory call with a contact number using Calendly. When the call time came the TA member did not contact me whatsoever either on the provided phone number or email.

Colloquio
I initially had a call with the recruiter, and shortly afterward, she asked me to schedule an interview with the company’s director. Unfortunately, there were several scheduling mishaps and unprofessional behavior on their end.
I first received an interview invitation and selected an available slot on the interviewer’s calendar. However, the recruiter's manager later contacted me requesting an earlier interview date. I adjusted my schedule accordingly, but due to an emergency on the interviewer’s side, the interview had to be rescheduled again.
Then, on the rescheduled date, I received an email from the interviewer informing me that he would be 30 minutes late for the hour-long interview. This was confusing because the meeting had already been postponed to a later date. Despite the mix-up, he mentioned he was waiting for me on the call. When I joined, I clarified that the call wasn’t planned for that day and confirmed if the later date still worked for him.
As expected, I received a rejection shortly afterward. I'd also like to mention that the recruiter was very helpful. When I shared my feedback, she promptly followed up with clarifications.
