J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Fanatics (Los Angeles, CA) en juin 2025
Entretien
A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and scheduled a phone call. Afterwards, they booked back-to-back Zoom interviews with the manager and skip-level manager. The process was chaotic—both meetings were booked and then canceled just a day before, without any explanation. I waited until after the original interview time to speak with the recruiter, who claimed the cancellation was due to a double booking and that they were simply trying to remove the duplicate, though I didn’t see any duplicates on my calendar. They later scheduled a new interview time.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What's p-value
How do you use confidence interval.
Why do you want to leave your previous company
Recruiter screen, hiring manager, 3 behavioral interviews, and one senior leader interview. Good people, definitely overworked but excited about their work. Getting ghosted after all of that was very unprofessional and disappointing. Do better & treat your candidates better.

Entretien
In July, I received an email from the Head of Tech Recruiting notifying me that I had been selected for an interview—only two days before it took place. The company was running a hiring event that week, with results promised by end of day Friday.
I successfully passed both the initial and technical interview rounds by Wednesday. I informed the recruiting team that I had a vacation planned starting Friday and asked if I could complete the final round on Thursday. I was told that the interview had to take place on Friday to be considered, with no exceptions. As a result, I canceled my flight and vacation.
After completing the final interview on Friday, I never received the promised update by end of day. The following Wednesday, the Director of Tech Recruiting called and extended a verbal offer over the phone. However, after a week of silence, I followed up and was told that Finance had reallocated the budget, but that I was still her top candidate and an offer could be expected in a few weeks.
Over the next three months, I followed up multiple times and was repeatedly told “a couple more weeks.” Eventually, communication stopped altogether. I later discovered that the Director of Tech Recruiting had left the company.
After canceling a vacation and being strung along for three months, this was one of the most unprofessional and time-wasting recruiting experiences I’ve had. It demonstrated a serious lack of respect for candidates’ time and commitments.
The interview process was smooth and well-organized. Several straightforward interviews with clear communication throughout. There weren't any overly difficult questions and no technical assessments. Overall, a positive and stress-free experience.
