I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Essex Property Trust in Jan 2024
Interview
Applied online, was approached with a phone screen. Then approached for a next round zoom interview. The interviewer was a VP who was clearly in a bad mood at the start of the call and apparently had not seen my resume. He abruptly ended the interview after 10 minutes and immediately told me i was not a fit. Said my experience does not translate well for this role and made an excuse blaming the recruiter for wasting everyone's time. I've never seen an interviewer be so rude, and arrogant to immediately blame the recruiter for this. I don't know how any of this happened when the zoom interview was scheduled several days after the phone screen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone screen was pretty standard and somewhat behavioral with one question asking i.e. tell me about your greatest accomplishment. First round zoom was specific to my experience but interview abruptly ended.
I interviewed at Essex Property Trust (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Relatively behavioral. The interview was insightful and engaging. The interviewer asked relevant questions and seemed genuinely interested in the candidate's responses. The candidate's answers were well-structured and highlighted their skills and experience effectively. Overall, the interview appeared to be a positive exchange, showcasing the candidate's qualifications and potential fit for the role
I applied online. I interviewed at Essex Property Trust in Mar 2023
Interview
Interview process dragged too long, over a month.Team was inconsiderate . HR gave conflicting information. They ask for a bunch of samples of work(excels etc).Had multiple zoom interviews and on-site interviews including a panel interview to present a 'homework' case study. Almost felt like they are holding fake interviews to steal ideas from candidates. 5 interview rounds felt totally unnecessary for a non-tech role.Was rejected after 5 rounds.
