I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Nokia (Austin, TX) in Sep 2020
Interview
Arrogant bunch of people on the call. Kept undermining the company I work for.
Kept repeating how their business is very critical. No regard or any consideration for your time. Wasted atleast a few of my precious hours. No wonder the company is in this state. After my interview experience, i didn’t wait for their decision and just told the recruiter, I have an offer elsewhere and not interested in pursuing this offer.
