Interview
Während des gesamten Gesprächs herrschte eine angespannte Atmosphäre, die Fragen wurden stumpf nacheinander runtergerattert und es hat sich so angehört, als würden sie die bestehende Praktikantin am liebsten behalten und gar keinen neuen Praktikanten einstellen.

Wie gehen Sie mit schwierigen Kandidaten um?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Otto (San Mateo, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
The process took 3 weeks. The process involved talking to the recruiter, technical phone screen, onsite technical interview, another onsite technical interview followed by onsite behavioral/ cultural fit round. They have no consideration for the candidate's time. I was brought in thrice in the same week. The interviewers were late(as late as 45 minutes). Finally, one of them let it slip that they recruited someone on the inside.
The hiring process at Otto takes an average of 22 days when considering 5 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Marketing had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Sales Development Representative (SDR) roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 30 days).
