Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Medidata Solutions (New York, NY) nel mese di ott 2020
Colloquio
Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn about a position on the team and if I was interested based on my unique background—I had not applied to them, but saw that the company was doing some interesting work, so thought I’d give it a go.
Had a great phone conversation, explaining my interest in the company, and was told that the team would review my resume and they’d get back to me on feedback. However, it’s been over a week and haven’t heard from the recruiter. Reached out to get an update and didn’t get a response. So it would appear, similar to other candidates, that I, too, was “ghosted.” I find this highly unprofessional considering I was the one being reached out to instead of applying to the company.

The recruiter contacted me after I applied on their job portal and scheduled first technical round with the interviewer. It was an easy interview but never heard back from recruiter after multiple follow-ups.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Medidata Solutions (Tokyo) nel mese di ott 2018
Colloquio
Very long interview process - took multiple calls, with both technical and HR questions. Entire process took over 2 months and seemed chaotic. On each call-intreview I was scheduled to another "last one" with yet another person.
Got an offer, that was completely different than what was presented to me on 1st call - didn't take it. Company is OK with doing interviews for more than 2 months, but apparently there is problem to start the job 2 weeks later. Also, compensation and relocation package were different than what I've been told in initial offer. (I wouldn't even consider this offer if I'd knew the compensation would be that low)
Technical questions were very academic alike - took online algorithms quiz, on-call questions were related to fixing some bugs in example methods and solving an algorithm questions.
Entire process overall was rather unprofessional, especially when considering relocating to another country - I didn't feel like company would support me if I made choice to go with it. Seems like company branch in Tokyo have no experience with relocation and hiring from abroad.
