Opposite of a Thoughtful or Considerate Interview Process Interview Experience Overview broken down by stage (Reach out, HM screen, Onsite, Onsite Debrief, After Onsite) Reach out: Head of Recruiting reached out to me via Linkedin to schedule a call to discuss RC role at Coda.io Initial phone screen: Standard HM phone screen that covered role, team and company before diving into my almost 2 years of experience at a large tech company that rapidly scaled hiring in preparation of IPO where I was an impactful employee until I was affected by Covid-19 layoffs Pre-onsite: Asked me to prepare one 30 minute detailed & in-depth presentation on my career path, tools & processes I use as a professional and project deep-dive/highlight to be presented to entire team/anyone in the company interested in attending. Additionally, I was asked to prepare a Coda document that I would use to "teach" Web Architecture" to HM and their manager for 30 min. In addition to these two 30 minute presentations, I was told to prepare for a 45 minute "case study" interview and 3 other interviews Onsite: Standard interview experience outside of "case study" interview turning out to be a 45 minute "brain teaser" (detailed below) and every interviewer describing Coda's company culture as "thoughtful" Onsite debrief w/ HM: Verbally set the expectation that I would receive interview feedback w/in 48 hours After onsite & rejection: HM did not follow-up after 48 hour mark passed to update me on the decision process and then rejected me via email without an offer to jump on the phone to discuss decision despite me spending 4+ hours preparing for my onsite, learning their product and crafting two presentations-- truly a disingenuous and opposite of thoughtful candidate experience that left me feeling "mugged off" Additional insights: HM engaged several of my former RC teammates at the same time for this role, so we all compared notes and found that the Coda team also strung them along by not updating them on their status in the interview process. At the same time as I was in process with Coda, I was in process with their direct competitor Notion and had a wonderful experience interviewing with for an RC role with their team despite not receiving an offer (reasonable take home case study & competency based interview process) Bottom line-- I do not feel that Coda vales their candidate's time and I would be cautious before seriously engaging in their interview process
