Entretien
Brief interview with recruiter followed by multiple rounds of interviews and data challenge to be completed within 24 hours.
While interviewing by video chat is a challenge, several of the management level interviewers seemed disinterested or disengaged. When receiving feedback on why I wasn’t offered the position, I could tell feedback was from manager who didn’t listen to my answers and who emailed while I was talking. It’s frustrating to hear you “lack experience” in an area that you absolutely don’t - but because a manager chose to multi-task while interviewing you, you’ve wasted time.
The final discourteous gesture came from the Director who refused to be on camera for an hour long interview. If a candidate takes the time to dress nicely, prepare heavily and spend three days interviewing with your company, it would be nice to receive the bare minimum of courtesy.

The interview process started off well and moved quickly, leaving me excited about the role. But after the interviews, communication stopped completely. Despite following up multiple times, I received no response for weeks. I eventually got a generic rejection, which felt like an afterthought. Candidates invest a lot of time and energy preparing for interviews, clear and timely communication should be the minimum. I hope the company improves how it handles candidate experience going forward.
The interview process is a typical one from a tech company with multiple rounds, starting with HR, the hiring manager, team members or employees you will collaborate with from other teams, a business case, the presentation of your results in front of a panel, and lastly a VP or an org leader.

Why do you want to work with us? Walk me through an achievement. How do you solve conflict? What levers do we have to generate growth?
Streamlined. The Instacart team scheduled multiple 30 minute interviews across 1- 2 days. Team asked mostly behavioral questions. There was about a week turn around on the final hiring decision.
