I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Aiven in Mar 2024
Interview
Initial chat with recruiter for screening call.
I'll be honest, they did not seem particularly enthusiastic about working there. It felt like a very managed conversation, which seemed to reflect some of the reviews left here by employees.
I waited to hear back and then it seemed as though a different recruiter was dealing with the role.
I was asked to submit my availability for the next round with the hiring manager which I did.
A couple of days later I had a phone call from the second recruiter saying that they had had a meeting and the role requirements had changed and they were looking for someone with senior level experience so I was no longer in the running,
Seems a little shambolic so probably had a lucky escape.
