      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at BKF Engineers (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      There was a phone interview with HR. It was a 30 min screening to assess the potential teams to connect me with. He was very personable and asked questions to assess me as an individual. Then there was a face to face interview with a Project Engineer and Project Manager (present via phone). This interview was more technical to assess specific skills.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BKF Engineers (Sacramento, CA)

      Interview

      Did a phone screen with the recruiter after applying for a position online. A few days later, we set up a day/time for a Skype interview. I wait on Skype for nearly an hour and he never shows up. Later he emails me saying he tried to start the call but it wouldn't connect. I reply right away suggesting we troubleshoot the problem or try something else (I can't do anything except respond through their online messaging portal). I don't hear a word from him again for the rest of the day. After a week of silence and more follow up messages from me, we reschedule the Skype interview. He talks about the position in very generic terms (not even a specific office location) and says they are currently evaluating their hiring needs. I continued to follow up once a week or so with no reply. After three weeks of that, he replies and says little more than "there are no updates." After three months of not knowing where I stand one way or the other, I gave up. They recruit for positions that don't exist and seem to just want to collect a stack of resumes. A complete waste of candidates' time that reflects poorly on what seemed like a good company.
