Generally, I found the communication to be inconsistent. In my first interview, there was some confusion about the process. One HR representative mentioned that the hiring process would be uniform for all candidates, while the other indicated that my process would differ due to my status as a rejoiner. This lack of clarity left me uncertain about what to expect and could be improved with aligned messaging.

I got the impression that rejoining candidates may not be entirely welcome. If rejoiners are truly welcomed back, the interview process should be as standardized and unbiased as it is for other candidates. Alternatively, if there is a company preference against rehires, it would be more transparent to establish this up front to avoid mixed messages.

I received the email invitation for my case study interview about a week in advance, on Thursday, October 10, 2024, and confirmed my availability immediately. However, I didn’t receive a Google Calendar invite until the following Monday after I reached out to the HR representative. Her response cited pending confirmations from other participants. While I understand scheduling conflicts, candidates appreciate timely updates on such matters. Additionally, the interview was rescheduled from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm on short notice, which could have created problems with my current employer.

On the same day, I was informed that the case study needed to be submitted a day before the interview. This reduced my preparation time unexpectedly and impacted my schedule. Advance notice for requirements like this would help candidates prepare thoroughly and demonstrate their best work.

Finally, I received a rejection on a Friday afternoon. While I respect the decision, receiving this news at the end of the week is a bit unemphatetic.

Two weeks is much too long a wait to respond to the initial application. Try to answer a bit faster.

Eine kurze Email, die erklärt mit wem ich mich in der nächsten Runde treffe, wäre eine kleine Verbesserung gewesen. Ansonsten ist Productsups Rekrutierungsprozess das Beste, das ich je gesehen habe.

Nach einem ersten Kennenlernen und einem zweiten, fachlichen Gespräch mit anschließendem Test wurde ich zum dritten Interview eingeladen. Hier hatte das ganze Team die Möglichkeit mich kennen zu lernen und mir Fragen zu stellen. Die Firma legt einen sehr großen Wert darauf, dass neben dem Fachlichen auch die Chemie stimmt.
