I applied online. I interviewed at Otak in Oct 2020
Interview
I had the interview via phone screen. The interviewer discussed the position. Instead of being the full time position, I was told it was a contract position. This is a complete bait and switch. My qualifications were not discussed. After the phone screen, I was promised I would hear back next week. I heard nothing back. I was ghosted. I was not given any feedback. I believe there was actually no position whosoever. If Otak is supposed to be a good place to work, it was not conveyed to me during the interview. If this is how they run interviews, I can only imagine how the firm is run - which may be bad. People should not waste their time applying for positions at Otak. They are a complete waste of time because their career opportunities are fake.

Question 1
Would you relocate to Portland (during a pandemic)?
Mike- thanks for your comment— please allow me to make a few corrections to your post in that this was presented as a full time position as we neither recruit for or place contract engineers. Of course your qualifications were discussed during this initial screening interview. However, as we stated in your other posting, while we look for technical competence, we also look for a good fit within the existing team and alignment with Otak’s culture. I apologize that we didn’t close the loop properly; our practice is to personally inform all candidates that are invited to interview and provide key feedback about why they weren’t selected. We respect that every candidate is valuable, even if the fit isn’t right. We missed the mark and I apologize. I would be happy review the position file and provide feedback directly.
