I interviewed at Percolate a few months ago and it was a really disorganized and offputting process. I had to wait in the lobby for 10 mins (I showed up on time) while people ran around and tried to figure things out and then they directed me to another floor where I had to wait another 10 minutes. And then the interview was conducted in an incredibly loud and distracting open office, not in a private room or anything like that. I was constantly interrupted by people trying to talk to the interviewer - I guess they didn't realize it was an interview? - and he wanted me to code stuff out on pieces of scrap paper (like actually torn paper from a notebook) and pen.
Hopefully this has been remedied but it was honestly a very negative process.
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it and it's feedback like this that has led to many positive changes at Percolate.
If I pin-pointed your interview activity accurately, you might have interviewed in June/July of last year when, admittedly, things were in flux. I joined in late August of 2015, and I've been part of enhancing the candidate experience for all of our candidates and the candidates who make it through our rigorous interviews are delighted by the experience and practically always end up choosing Percolate.
This is an issue we have taken very seriously, and it is continuously improved upon at Percolate.
It's great to hear that. I have no qualms whatsoever with Percolate and those who I know work there highly recommended it so I was a bit surprised at how the interview went. But thanks for taking the time to respond to me, it's really nice to know that the process is being improved upon!
Hopefully this has been remedied but it was honestly a very negative process.
