I applied online. I interviewed at Paramount in July 2020
Interview
Have never experienced this level of ghosting before. The recruiter informed me she will get back after talking to the hiring manager. I followed up for 3 weeks and got responses like no feedback yet every-time after which I quit the chase. Suddenly after a week I got a mail to schedule an interview with the Manager. This interview was again uncomfortable, the manager did not have a look at the resume and started asking questions outside my work experience. At the end of the interview he asked me if I had experience in the domain and I told him no, also why it is not on my resume. A humble request, please read a candidate's resume before asking questions.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paramount in Feb 2023
Interview
First round was with one of the worst recruiters I've had to deal with in a long time. Clearly didn't read my resume, kept interrupting me with questions I already answered minutes ago during the call, and gave me the wrong information a few times. Second round was with the engineering manager who seemed like a nice guy. I had some interesting conversations with him about the tech and projects. He asked me generic Java language questions (OOP), a few leetcode type questions, and then had me ask questions of my own. If it wasn't for the recruiter I would have rated the interview experience as positive.

I had an technical interview with them for three hours, they didn’t provide me with a proper feedback, they don’t even lift the phone after the interview. This is totally unprofessional .
