I just had an entire interview with Plaid via Teams. I was offered the position, but never spoke with someone in person. Is that normal?

Yes sounds normal that’s how I was hired at least

I didn't really get the opportunity to ask any questions. Everything was via Teams Chat. What has been your experience with the company, do you like it, are there particular departments to watch out for?

Also how is the current tech layoffs effecting the company?

When you say by teams - did you video chat with anyone or was it all text based ?

like

Oh no - that’s super suspicious. I wouldn’t trust that. Remote interviewing would at least include a few video calls.

Honesty wins here. My company is Capgemini. I have not been affected at all by layoffs in fact I’ve been promoted here in tech/ fintech. I like the company and respect it. I like the people. I am on a long term project though. Not the bench.

Is the position you applied for fully remote? Any by Teams do you mean video call with camera on?

That sounds highly suspicious. I have had numerous interviews and they have all been a recruiter via call or video and every subsequent interview video. There are usually also multiple rounds.

I aplogize I should have been more specific. There was absolutely no video call. That was what made the interview a little suspect

Yes that most definitely raises a 🚩

There is no chance this is an interview with the real Plaid. Their interviews are notoriously difficult - hours of video calls, and some other assessments depending on the role - and there’s no way they would offer you a job via Teams text chat.

What were the domains of the email addresses that you corresponded with to coordinate the “interview”? What is the role? Did they give you an offer for comp?

100% chance that this is a scam; I’d stop responding or maybe report it to the real Plaid HR.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.
