The first phase of the interview process consisted of a conversation with AI. It covered very basic questions that mainly revolved around problem solving and how you handle different types of scenarios.

Question 1
What are some techniques that you use when working with a team.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAIC (Dallas, TX) in Apr 2024
Interview
Initial phone screen with HR recruiter, followed by interview with the hiring team. There was supposed to be a third interview with the hiring manager but I made such a good impression during the hiring team interview, that they skipped to the offer.

Question 1
Elaborate on previous devops project experience, gave a problem they were having with a Jenkins pipeline and asked me how I would go about solving it, what sparked my interest in the cloud/devops, etc.
Quite possibly the WORST recruiter experience I've had. And that's saying something in the DC area!
I applied online. Got a "next step" email from the recruiter to complete some online forms. I did in less than 24 hours.
The recruiter then called me for a phone interview/screen. It went great! He stated that the manager was on leave but he would work out an interview with them once they returned.
I waited. I followed up with emails and voice mails. And here we are, more than a month after being completely ghosted by this recruiter. REALLY unprofessional for such a well respected company.
