I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Specialized Bicycle Components in Mar 2023

Interview

Started with a recruiter, followed up by a director, both in the USA and both took around 30-45 minutes. Everything was fine, both interviews went well. At the end of the second interview, I hear the director say that the recruiter would contact me for following up with the next steps. After four days I sent an email to the recruiter asking about the status. Interestingly, eight days later I received an automated email saying that my process is terminated. I did not expect this as the last interview was pretty positive.

I interviewed at Specialized Bicycle Components

Interview

The Recruiter is located in Portland Maine. Terrible candidate experience. When I shared my salary expectations she said you should have more experience when I have 9 years of experience and a master's degree. I think she may have discriminated against me and had made up her mind because of my ethnicity.

I interviewed at Specialized Bicycle Components

Interview

Good overall experience, but the recruiting team seemed slightly unorganized and changed the interview schedule multiple times. Lots of typical interview questions, minimal design-related questions. The marketing staff I interviewed with were all kind and seemed more interested in how you work vs. design skills, inspiration, process, etc.

Interview Questions
  • Q: Why Specialized? Q: Describe a time when you faced difficulty in the workplace and how you overcame that? Q: Experience in the bike industry?
