I was introduced to a recruiter via a referral, and offered the times I'm available. It appears she misread my email, since she said she'll call me during a time I'm unavailable. I corrected her, and we had an initial call on a Friday. This was very short, she didn't ask any questions nor give me a chance to ask her questions. She explained she'd follow-up over the weekend to schedule the first interview.
1 week later, I hadn't received any emails from her. I checked in with her again, she apologized for the delay. I offered the times I'm available, and she sent out a calendar invite for my first interview.
Two days before the interview, she emailed me to reschedule. At this point, I had already committed to some on-site interviews so my availability was a bit wonky. Once I figured out my availability, I let her know that I could still do a phone call, or, since my on-site was in San Francisco near the Opendoor office, I could come by the meet the interviewer. I had planned to come by regardless to say hi to my referral and thank him for putting me through.
She said there wouldn't be much of a need to come in for the interviewer, even though I was already planning to come by.
A few days before the interview, she asked if I could also meet someone else on the team without mentioning who this person is, what their role is, or even if this would be an interview or an informal chat. I agreed and she said he'd call me on Google Hangouts.
The morning with the Google Hangout with this unknown person, 10 minutes had gone by and I hadn't received any notifications. I emailed the recruiter, and she asked what link I was using... which I was confused since I wasn't provided anything. She gave me his direct phone number, and I called him.
Since we only had 20 minutes, the conversation was rushed, and I didn't find the conversation particularly warm nor engaging. He had mentioned he wanted to ask me case questions but we didn't have enough time. This took me a bit by surprise since the recruiter gave me zero information as to what this call would be about.
After this ended, I headed to the Opendoor office. I had a good 30-minute interview with a PM that I thought went pretty well. He was courteous of the time, and made sure he gave enough time for me to ask questions.
The recruiter followed up a few days later saying that they didn't there would be a good fit for me. This was a bit frustrating since the entire process to date had been very disorganized and I didn't feel any challenging questions were asked to accurately assess my skills (relative to the questions other companies have asked).
