Recruiter calls me out of the blue the day after I applied. He asks me nothing about my background and tells me that the hiring manager will call me. I tell him that I'd prefer if we could get something scheduled through email so the manager doesn't call me during a time where I might have a conflict. He says he'll try his best then I was never contacted. One of the most bizarre experiences I've had with a recruiter. Seems like they have no idea what they're doing

One initial tech screen, then five 1 hour interviews (2 system design, 2 dsa, 1 soft skills). It was overall a very pleasant experience. Each interviewer was very encouraging and helpful.

I interviewed with the hiring manager, completed and presented a take home project to a panel including the hiring manager, then had three 1:1's. Disappointingly, I never heard back from anyone at the company after I completed the final 1:1's.
- What did your day-to-day look like in your most previous role? How often did you interact with customers, engineering or other stakeholders? What my interaction with marketing was related to a feature I launched at a previous role. Engineering comes back with a couple of proposals, how do you prioritize the approach?

I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at AppDynamics (London, England) in Feb 2022
I had a very, very bad experience with this company! I applied for this position in December 2021, after hearing such good things over the years. I received the confirmation and an interview date request in mid-January 2022, which I immediately submitted. The hiring manager then requested a private interview outside of the interview process. However, he was on paternity leave, so I was required to wait until mid February 2022 to do so. Following a 30 minute interview in February 2022 with the hiring manager, I was then required to participate in a further FIVE interviews, two with a newly-appointed Team Leader, two with fellow analysts within the role across the organisation and AGAIN with the hiring manager. This interview process stretched from February 2022 to April 2022, with no guidance or information on the direction of the recruitment. After each interview, I allowed for at least a week before following up with the HR on the matter and was given very minimal guidance on the process. When conducting the interviews, all interviewers were incredibly out of the loop with the status of the onboarding and any other information related to the role. With a number of interviewers including the Team Lead, highlighting the fact that the hiring manager was making up all of the decisions as he goes along, with no plan or communication. Following the last communication received at the end of April 2022, I practically let go of the prospect. I then received a call at the end of May 2022 from the HR asking if I would consider the position as a contractor, which I agreed to. Since then in June 2022, I have received no communication from the HR or any other member of the Cisco/AppDynamics recruiting team or otherwise! Overall the process was VERY unorganised. I have successfully interviewed with other elite tech companies and have never seen such an unorganised company! It is VERY clear that the members of the team have ZERO confidence in the hiring manager's ability. It is quite unfortunate as Cisco AppDynamics has always been reported to have a great work culture. However it seems that the company is surviving based on the former glory established by employees who have jumped ship to competitors. Quite a sad experience.
- Typical interview questions: - Strengths - Weaknesses - Knowledge of the company and history - Knowledge of the position

1. Delivery manager praised my profile and requested a call. 2. Phone call with discussion about the company and role. Interview scheduled. 3. Cleared the first video interview, was told they would invite me for the 2nd one. 4. Nothing for 2 weeks. Approached the delivery manager and she scheduled the 2nd interview with a senior consultant. 5. Detailed 2nd interview with lots of topics covered - job role, responsibilities, academia, achievements, company business etc. I was told that I would hear back for the next steps. 6. Never heard back. Tried to reach out to them but no response either.

Introductory meeting with hiring manager. Work sample leveraging AppDyanmics. Fairly technical - need to be savvy with the command line. Took probably 8 hours. Then reviewed answers with the manager, who was super helpful in answering questions. After that had a chat with a teammate who helped answer my questions.
- Tell me about your career background.
