A person from the company approached me, and arranged a phone interview with a recruiter (it seemed to be an outsourced type of phone screen with standard impersonal questions). It is a young startup, so I was puzzled why investor's money was spent on such service, a questionnaire would totally do the work).
I got a rejection letter a week after. Throughout the process, they had never asked me for my resume (and I forgot to send my resume since I was approached for this role), and I never applied online, but I got a rejection email from "hire. withgoogle".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me what are you interested in Tulip (I know we approached you)?
...some other standard questions about what I did....
What is your salary expectation?
I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Tulip Interfaces (Somerville, MA) in Mar 2023
Interview
I met with several folks virtually and then had to complete a project which I delivered to a panel, in-person. I was treated respectfully throughout the process and kept informed of the status after each step.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tulip Interfaces (Somerville, MA) in Oct 2022
Interview
I went through 4 rounds of interviews, all standard stuff:
HR screening
Interview with hiring manager
Take home assignment and presenting to panel
Interview with 2 members of upper management
Entire process was across 4 weeks or so. Including the assignment, interview prep, interviews themselves and travel I probably invested 20-25 hours in this process. I received positive feedback throughout
After the final round, I promptly received a generic "thank you for your time but you're unsuccessful" email. When I followed up for feedback, I was simply told I didn't have "enough experience".
I think it's extremely disrespectful, rude and unprofessional to have candidates invest a significant amount of time and effort into the interview process to then be presented with a generic, templated email response. You should at the very least provide constructive feedback. Why interview someone for a month for a role they're apparently too inexperienced for?
If this is how they treat candidates, I dread to think how they treat employees. Major red flags
