Interview took about a month. It was a regular interview. If you know your stuff you should be good. I applied for a full time position and later they told me it would be a contract. I got a verbal offer but still havent received any offer. I interviewed on March and its July with no clear results. I was told the offer should arrive soon but after 3 weeks I rescheduled out back and crickets. Don't recommend if you are in a rush.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at United Airlines (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2022
Interview
Bad culture, unorganized hiring process, and a giant waste of time for the candidate.
United airlines recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn.
The process was 4 weeks long.
1st round: hr assessment
2nd round: online assessment that includes an easy leetcode problem and virtual meeting with a tech lead , the hiring manager, and the director.
Red flag #1: One person never showed up during the interview.
Red flag #2: the hr called and said they will offer but does not give the comp number for 4 days.
Completed the online assessment with solutions that is O(n)
So-called technical interview/ virtual meeting went well.
Confirmed the expected salary range very early in the interview with the hr. However when came to the offer time hr came back with a 30% lower than the expected low number even though they keep confirming multiple times during the interview process and after. Sooo disappointed and a waste of time.
My friends warned me about their hiring practices. I wish I listened to them.
