I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alluxio
Interview
Beware of Bait-and-Switch
After one month and four rounds of interviews, with positive feedback and expressed interest in hiring, they attempted to downgrade the role to a lower title. Furthermore, they do not have the funds for the compensation listed in the job description. They did not even make a written offer because the compensation range listed on their job description is not what they are willing to pay. Looks like they are shopping for a qualified person at a discount.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
3-day technical exercise. Install their product on a provided EKS cluster. And provide feedback so that they can use you for QA purposes.
I was contacted by an HR on LinkedIn about a Senior Software QA Engineer position. I responded with interest and we scheduled an initial call. However, the HR did not show up for the call. Despite sending multiple follow-up messages on LinkedIn, I never received a response.
