There’s often a reason why a large company keeps reposting the same position. I encountered the most arrogant recruiter during my experience with Schneider. Ironically, the interview invitation stated, “no preparation required.” Regardless, I take every interview seriously and always prepare thoroughly, even if it’s just a phone screening. During the conversation, the interviewer spent more time flaunting his knowledge in the field he was recruiting for and asked me to provide a detailed example in response to his question. The question was open-ended and poorly structured, but I responded with my analysis, including some industry standards. He simply shook his head repeatedly. I then asked for clarification and his perspective, only to be met with a dismissive attitude and an overly simplistic explanation that made the role seem like something a fifth grader could handle. At the end of the interview, I asked two questions and was told to “just check Glassdoor” because of how “great” Schneider supposedly is. The lack of professionalism and insight was startling.

The interview process consisted of an aptitude test followed by technical and hr interview. Aptitude test had general math questions. Technical interview consisted of questions asked on my resume and basic CS concepts. The entire process was done within a day. Interviews were not too difficult
