I went through full interview processes with Uber in the past and they went well, but this has been a frustrating experience. I had an interview with a recruiter and after waiting 15 minutes for her call, she sent an email saying that the position was ‘put on hold’ and was cancelling our meeting for ‘later in the day’. After some back and forth she continued giving excuses, saying that her email didn’t send the scheduled cancellation email (at 9am, 2 hours before our call, why would she schedule a cancellation email 2 hours before the call if she knows that the role has been ‘put on hold’?). Needles to say, the role is still live. Companies keep hiring armies of recruiters that keep repelling serious talent with their unprofessional behaviors. When is the industry going to do something about it? It is such a waste of time. At least consider people’s time and have the decency of not lying to candidates.

Recruiter screening call. It takes a lot 30 mins and then followed by a hiring chat (30 min) to cover your background, role overview and how they align with my experience.
