The regular interviewers I met with were fine but the experience with the recruiters was frustrating. Several weeks after applying a SAS recruiter messaged me to schedule a screening. They had the personality of wet cardboard and from the way their eyes kept darting whenever they spoke and some of the questions they asked I got the impression they hadn't bothered to read my resume or the job description prior to the call. Half the questions they asked felt like they wanted someone who had already drunk the company Kool-Aid. They wanted to know why I applied for a position with SAS, why I wanted to work at SAS in particular, what excited me most about SAS, and how much I knew about SAS. Meanwhile they couldn't tell me much of anything about the actual job. The one time they showed any emotion was when they got visibly irritated after they asked for my desired salary and I turned the question back on them by asking for the range for the role. They also didn't provide any details when I asked about benefits other than to say that SAS benefits were good. A few days after this call I was asked to do an interview with the hiring manager and a lead. This was a much more pleasant call though I still got Kool-Aid vibes and it seemed like they had tried to make the job posting sound much more modern than the actual job requirements. The day after this call the recruiter told me they would be messaging me soon to schedule a panel round. It took a week before someone reached out asking for my availability. I responded with several wide slots over the next week and since I also had a pending offer from another company at this point I let them know in the hopes that it would speed things along. Three days later they contacted me again saying my open time slots don't work for the panel so they were scheduling me for a time that did work and asked me to be flexible. I ended up withdrawing instead. In one more act of poor recruitment practices they didn't take me off the list so almost two weeks later I got an email letting me know they were finishing interviews and would make a choice by the end of the week. If they can't respect my time, expect me to bend over backwards for a job while they clearly lack any enthusiasm of their own, and take weeks to make a decision then I'd rather look elsewhere, especially considering the risks from the company being on the verge of an IPO and a new CEO.
