I interviewed at Mercury Systems

Interview

I was offered a phone screen which never came and after 2 months, heard back from another recruiter requesting another phone screen which actually went smoothly. However, the interview with the manager was extremely disappointing as he clearly didn’t read my resume until he was on the phone with me.

Applied online and received an email from a recruiter a month or two later asking for interview availability. Responded within the same day, but the recruiter failed to check their email, and emailed me a week later asking if I had received their email about requesting an interview time. Responded same day and scheduled an interview for a few days after. Recruiter explained the role and asked a few questions regarding experience, then went over the next steps if the department manager was interested in moving forward. The recruiter gave me his word he would keep me in the loop (if or if not my application was to move forward) within 2 business days, but never heard back from said point of contact.
