J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez American Airlines (Phoenix, AZ) en juill. 2022
Entretien
I was contacted by a recuiter who couldn't tell me much about the team or interview itself. Several days later I had an interview via video call. It was the worst interview I've ever had in my multi-decade career as an engineer.
The manager joined late and nobody thought to do an introduction before the technical review started. I was faced with seven people and only two of them had names I could pronounce. I gave a rushed introduction and then I was given a technical question.
No context was given with the question as to what I was trying to accomplish. I walked through the code and when asked questions suggested it would be faster if we spend five seconds looking at the Internet where snippets of code like this are well documented.
I prematurely asked to end the call after fifteen minutes because the questioning was going nowhere. I literally cannot believe that a major airline is recuiting junior engineers in this manner, let alone senior engineers.
I've interviewed at companies like Tesla where they spend hours giving interviewees time to give a presentation on a topic, answer questions by a panel and have technical conversations one on one with individual engineers.
This was the complete opposite. And I cannot imagine making a life-altering decision to work for a company that interviews people in this manner.
This was just a mind-boggling and depressing experience. I fear for our collective future.
