InterviewI interviewed at City and County of San Francisco (United States)
A recruiter had reached out to me and we ended up chatting briefly about the process. I was told the first round would be a panel interview made up of various department members but couldn't be told who. I got to the interview and the recruiter told me it was a technical interview with a time limit. They went around and asked me technical questions while someone sat in the corner with an iphone timer. Overall, it was a very bizarre experience - felt more like an oral exam from high school than an interview. The secretive nature of the interview and the timer in my face led to a weird ambiance. Threw me off my game as I prepare for technical interviews differently than non-technical.

Lengthy and drags on for quit some time. A lot of hoops to jump through and constantly asked for additional paperwork. This boils down to HR and not the actual division.
