I interviewed at Snowflake

Interview

The hiring manager was constantly distracted; I never seemed to have their full attention. I got lots of pushback on total compensation requests. It seems I was intentionally excluded from meeting the higher-level person who could make these decisions.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Snowflake (Dublin, CA) in Oct 2023

The HM reached out by CC'ing the recruiter. I replied with some dates I was available for. The recruiter scheduled the interview after making sure that I can work from Dublin, CA. The rest of the interview would have been two more rounds involving HM and coding. Finally there would have been an onsite.

Senior Resource Manager

Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
