My interview experience with Avedro was unpleasant. Short version of my story, for nearly two weeks, no response about the finalized interview date and suddenly one afternoon, I received their email saying my interview was scheduled at 8am the very next day. They didn’t care that I was not a local candidate and I had to drive 3.5 hours and they didn’t reimburse my travel expense. Lack of communication before and after interview. Long version of my story- First I was contacted by HR to determine an onsite interview day. I said either of two provided dates (Thursday or Friday in two weeks) worked fine with me. After that no further notification. 10 days later, on Tuesday, I sent a follow up email – asked which day they finally picked (Thursday or Friday). No response. I assumed that they found the right candidate already and I was not invited for interview anymore. However, Wednesday afternoon 1pm, I received her email saying my interview is scheduled at 8am the very next day. I was totally shocked, First, I am not a local candidate and I need to drive at least three and half hours to Waltham. The interview starts at 8am next day, which means I need to arrive in Waltham that day. And you told me that now?? No consideration and respect for the candidate? Why don’t tell me earlier?? I think for any interview invites, 48-hour notice is the minimum. Second, I didn’t know where to stay in Waltham. The HR didn’t mention anything about hotel accommodations. Third, I had to ask my manager for a half day off that day (so I can go home to pack and drive to Waltham before traffic peak hours) and the next day off. Luckily my manager approved that, even though it’s a last minute request. I asked them what are the possible accommodations in the area. They mentioned a hotel close to the company. I was a little relieved and thought they would reimburse me after the interview. If so I could put up with all this drama . However, after the interview, I followed up with HR about the hiring process – no response. The second time I following up with HR, I send the hotel bill and asked if company has reimbursement policy for candidate – no response either. I understand that not all companies do reimbursement. That’s okay, but what’s the harm of letting me know this? This is my worst interview experience ever.
