I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meraki (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Terrible. It took 3 times for the recruiter to actually call for my first interview. I was stood up twice by the same recruiter and had to reapply each time with zero communication for why she didn’t call during the scheduled time.
Then, during the in person interviews with multiple managers, the 3rd manager was 25 minutes late during back to backs. I ended up getting a bit tired but no coffee was offered while I was waiting. My 4th interview after late Manager ended was the interview that I lost the job and didn’t get an offer. After an hour and 50 minutes and 25 minutes of waiting with no coffee, my brain just didn’t process his technology questions quick enough and so I didn’t get the job. I believe if all the managers were on time, I would’ve gotten the job. Terrible experience
