Extremely brief and high level interviews for a technical position. Take home assessment was broad, and the questions asked pertaining to it were arbitrary. All communications and scheduling are done through a chat bot that doesn’t accept legitimate responses or questions. Very little correspondence with the recruiter at any step of the process, and no feedback given at denial step.

My experience interviewing with Vail Resorts was incredibly disappointing and showed a complete lack of professionalism and common courtesy. The interview process consisted of a recruiter screen, an interview with the hiring manager, 2 panel interviews, and a final round with a case study. Right from the start, my recruiter was incredibly unprofessional. She missed our initial interview, leaving me to take the initiative and reschedule. Communication became virtually non-existent after my panel interviews. She ignored all of my follow-ups, so I had to go directly to the hiring manager for an update. The recruiter would string me along with breadcrumbs of information, promising to provide an update by a certain time but never following through. After my final interview, I didn’t hear anything for 2 weeks, so once again I decided to follow up with the recruiter. Her response: “Sorry I meant to tell you yesterday, we decided to go with someone else.” I understand if I'm not the candidate you’re looking for, but after investing almost 2 months of my time into 5 rounds of interviews, I deserve more than a generic rejection. I believe I would’ve been ghosted if I hadn't been so persistent in following up. If you value a respectful and transparent interview process, don’t waste your time applying here.
