The recruiter connected with me after my application through Linkedin reached her. Step 1 was very similar to any other recruiter-candidate QAs. Then the 2nd was phone IV with the Hiring Manager, which also went pretty well. The third was a collabedit session with one of the engineers from the team, which had basic questions of string-based algorithms and SQL. The thing is, the recrutier didnt even give me a feedback even after I followed up with her. She didnt reply, which I think is not professional. Feedback helps us to improve better and I think every company must work towards giving a feedback. As a candidate I felt to have wasted my time. The least I can get back from Pandora is a feedback or a polite reply of rejection.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Pandora in Oct 2017
Interview
Initially contacted by a recruiter and he asked for my availability for a chat, I answered with several dates and he replied saying the position had already been taken, all happened within merely 2 days. I see this as either of:
1. They don't take candidates seriously
2. Their recruiters have bad coordination
They really need to do some serious work before reaching out to others
