I applied online. I interviewed at System Six (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2024
Interview
I was contacted by HR to schedule a 45 minute technical interview. Scheduling was easy through Calendly.
My interviewer seemed disconnected from me entirely. There was no pulse or feedback to my answers. Just a list of questions to finish. I feel they already had a candidate chosen or took one look at me and lost interest. Either way, I left that meeting demoralized and feeling I had wasted my time prepping for the meeting that I carried by adding life and personality to an interaction that was otherwise dry and uninviting.
Also, she record the session without my permission. When I inquired, I was told it was to let others review my responses and also for training purposes. The arrogance or ignorance of doing this without asking.
The job description describes this company as a joyful place to work, but based on my experience - I would no have wanted to work there.
