J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Cengage (Raleigh, NC) en mars 2017
Entretien
Went through a couple rounds of interviews with recruiters, HR, and eventually an architect. Interviews were pretty reasonable, particularly the technical. Technical interview centered largely on going through my experience and a few of my projects, with the architect poking about here and there, asking questions, etc. Pretty decent stuff.
Unfortunately, at no point during this process would anyone tell me what I was interviewing for. This left me unable to ask any specific questions about my duties & responsibilities, tech, process, team, advancement... you name it. When I questioned the lack of clarity regarding exactly what job I was trying to land, they explained their hesitancy (didn't want to rule out candidates who were a poor match for one job, but might work out well elsewhere). While this seems reasonable initially, we really have to get specific at some point so I can evaluate the opportunity
Next step was a face-to-face that sounded fairly intense, but since I wasn't given enough information to decide if I wanted the job, I had to decline to pursue further.

Entretien
It was 4 rounds of interview process. 1. Phone screening with recruiter 2. video interview with HR and other members 3.Technical interview with team manager(2 coding questions) 4. video interview with all team asking different behavioral or technical questions.
I had a short call with hiring manager. She me I’d make the technical interview then I didn’t hear anything for weeks until I got a formulaic rejection email. She was nice but this was a very impersonal process and the communication was poor.

Thus far, I have only had the first of several interviews; the first interview is with the hiring/acquisition department. The employee was very friendly, informative, and upfront about the position.
