Had an interview and was caught totally off guard by the recruiter info for PM role 😓. Was told it would be behavioral and past experience but the HM dived directly into case. Good thing I kinda read about it already, but definitely wasn’t fully ready and they only let me schedule either a day or 2 out 🫣. Wish me luck fishes

Stripe did this to me. Recruiter said the hiring manager wants to get to know your background but she jumped directly into case interviews. Caught me completely off guard

Wow that’s wild! Hope it turned out well

A lot of great companies have terrible recruiters. I know of a ton of people that have had terrible recruiters at FAANG and LinkedIn as well, but because the company is so desired to work for, the recruiter still manages to get folks hired.

Yea agreed. Funny is it also happened to my LI recruiter after we had a great convo (or so I thought, and she especially mentioned she really enjoyed it and thought my answers were structured, easy to follow, and extremely relevant to the role)

Not what I’d want to see from future employer, but I know that isn’t reflective of everything

Yea I was surprised at how bad their recruiter knowledge was, or perhaps just this one recruiter
