Applied online and got time slot scheduled with recruiter to check whether i fit for the role. Scheduled time slot to talk with recruiter. Recruiter didn’t respond the email about my specific question on selecting time slot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do not remember specific but were mostly generic. Do not understand how can a recruiter check whether a person is fit for the role without talking technical.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snowflake (Warsaw, Masovia) in Jul 2024
Interview
Long interview rounds ( around 6 rounds of 30+ minutes ). Pretty basic strategy of the interview, Nothing special: cultural interview, "technical" interview, code practices.
I'd strongly suggest to avoid this in the future and here's why:
- recruiter advised to prepare totally wrong things for the technical interview. Advised to prepare theory, got in and received code examination on a strange, limited framework.
- interviewer was invalidating and unsuportive. At the end even dismissive of my experience.
- "technical" interview had nothing to do with the job at hand, It was more to show familiarity with an unknown framework.
- answer from recruiters after the interviews was again invalidating.
Even if I would've gotten an offer, solely based on recruiter advice and interviewer attitude I would've declined. Putting a label and "evaluation" when you don't know what exactly the candidate has been doing is entirely unprofessional, as well as the bad practices: extensive rounds + task unrelated to the job.
