Pros

Interviewers were genuinely pleasant and professional to talk to. HR was meticulous and highly professional throughout the process. Conversations with the team were consistently enjoyable.

Cons

Excessively long recruitment process (over two months). Unnecessary repetition in technical interview stages, overlapping with the assignment. Final rejection reason (lack of seniority) was absurd and contradicted my upfront transparency. Company appears to lack clarity on specific candidate profile, leading to wasted time. Poor internal coordination regarding interview content.

Dear employee, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your interview experience. While we're happy to hear you had positive interactions with our HR team and interviewers, we’re genuinely sorry that the overall process left you feeling frustrated. We take your feedback very seriously, especially regarding the duration, redundancy and final feedback. Your comments highlight important areas where we need to improve our internal alignment and streamline the interview journey, particularly for roles in rapidly evolving areas like Gen AI. We truly appreciate your transparency throughout the process and regret that this wasn’t sufficiently reflected in our final communication. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome a follow-up conversation to better understand your perspective and use it to refine our process.

Pros

It's an unrecognized job by management, they don't care about you unless you make them more money so they get bonuses. All they care about is performance metrics, no matter what you do to your co-workers.

Cons

Expected to work in an outdated color arrangement that is mostly black. When it's 100 degrees out, on hot asphalt, not ideal. They expect you to log the tiniest damage so that they can bill the customer. Do they not take depreciation on the cars. Their fuel gages are wonky and don't work right. I believe they are charging customers for fuel when they shouldn't.
