The first interview was on the phone with a recruiter. They asked me several screening questions and then provided me with some background on the company.
The second interview was a series of four 20 minute video calls with members of the team that I would be working with if I was hired. I logged into the meeting on time, but no one from the hiring team showed up. I immediately contacted the recruiter with whom I had scheduled the interview for assistance but did not receive a reply until later in the day. The recruiter told me that there must have been an issue with the meeting link. I encountered this issue when interviewing with another company, and they immediately called me on the phone to continue the interview. Agilent had my phone number from the first interview, so I'm not sure why they didn't try an alternate way to contact me. Based upon the response I received in subsequent interviews, I received the impression that the recruiter had never made the hiring team aware of this interview.
I was able to reschedule the video calls for the following week. The interviews were very conversational in nature, and the interviewers seemed genuinely interested and engaged in the conversation.
After the video calls, I was told by the recruiter that they would be in touch shortly. After a few weeks of silence, I contacted the recruiter for an update and did not receive a response. I contacted the recruiter again three months later and still did not receive a response. At that point, I logged in to the Careers website and saw that I was no longer being considered for the position.
Had it not been for the interview mix-up and the lack of a timely response, I would have given this interview a positive rating. However, I was very disappointed by the lack of professionalism exhibited in this interview process.
