I have never felt compelled to write a review for an interview, but given my recent experience with Empower, I feel compelled to leave one so others can see. I scheduled an interview for a Friday morning and received email confirmation with a Zoom link. I took off work to prepare the morning before the interview, and when I joined the Zoom room, I ended up waiting for 20 minutes. No one showed up. I emailed the recruiter asking for an opportunity to reschedule, and got no response. A few days later, I got a rejection email stating that they had “decided to move forward with another candidate.” I have never experienced something so unprofessional. I am also perplexed as to how one can make the decision to pass on a candidate when they never even interviewed them. I can’t even rate the interview difficulty on here because no one showed up.

Phone/video interview with recruiter & then video interview with manager. Process relatively easy and straight forward. Standard interview process. Questions asked were general and not difficult. Work hours and pay were below expectations.
