I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at DataStax in May 2025
Interview
The interview was primarily focused on the Hiring Manager sharing their knowledge gained over 12 years in the same role. While their depth of knowledge is certainly impressive, the conversation lacked engagement or interest learning about me. I would advise caution before considering a position on this team.
