1st: Telephone 2nd: Telephone & Hacker Rank 3rd: In-person multiple face-to-face 2-on-1 If they dont send you to HR by end of 3rd interview, you werent hired. Recruiter called me, after I applied on some website. was nice & convincing but as time wore on I was less convinced applying to BB was a good idea because Im super creative & BB is super crufty financials. aggressively pursued me saying things like "Why would you turn down a half a million bucks?" or "i see, you want to throw money away" & even though I said several times "No" but continually called me until I gave in when it was said BB would pay for my travel. I have family in the area, & thought it would be a good chance to see if I can l& a job there, & at the same time I could keep costs low because they were able to keep me in their basement for a few months to get my start. Entire time I was told repeatedly by R that I would be reimbursed. I asked about this that or the other thing I heard "Theyll pay for travel _&_ for meals" .. then came the interview & I was sort of pushed into the wrong interview. There were 6 teams hiring, but I picked one initially, interviewed, then R asked me not to pick that one because had trouble in past. I shrugged & picked Security. Not a good fit. Even though interview ended with me & the hiring manager assessing the situation & coming to a mutual agreement that it was probably not the best position for me - especially since the R like popped a question on me at the last minute about what department I wanted, then told me no when I gave him my answer -- then had me meet with one of the most uncreative teams on the list. Mutual dissatisfaction & hiring manager said seen it before from "that R" Keep in mind BB software engis are paid more than 180k after just a couple years, & their daily job to babysit a single function on the BB back-end, go to gym & eat snacks no managers at BB want them to even have. You get a 6 month bonus of 25k in cash & the R makes 30k finders fee if you last that long. R asked for reimbursement request. I made up a sheet & provided receipts (exported emails, photographs). After turning in the info to the R, the R wrote back & I didnt notice that the R had sent it to Person @ Accounts Payable. AP refused it & said I needed to fill out & sign a specific form. On the form at the bottom it says they reserve the right to refuse any item, but will write a check & list the items they didnt pay. It also says you have to turn it in within 1 month of your interview date to your recruitment contact. Well, I didnt notice this because the R didnt say _anything_ leading into the email -- just forwarded me AP email with a blank body -- wasnt obvious I had to do anything. I re-read it about a month later, realized thats why I hadnt seen a check. I wrote back, sent in the receipts along with the printed email -- AP immediately rejected it, said I filled out the form wrong, that they wouldnt accept it, & that I should turn it in again, filled out correctly this time, & on top of that was mean to the R about it. AP said I needed receipts & bank statements to have it processed (though I provided receipts). So I went & got those things -- statements, receipts ... had to wait another 15 days for a receipt from one of my travel tickets .. I turned it in with a complete picture of everything I had spent, & itemized, categorized travel costs - Gas, Food, Travel (tickets), no hotels (I stayed with family). Due to blizzard stay lasted 3 weeks, didnt expect them to pay every item, but I provided a clear picture. R sent it in without looking at it, then he wrote back & said "shouldnt have sent that" & was rejected. AP told me to fill out the form again. AP said I needed bank statements & receipts, & the R hinted that they werent going to pay for all meals, & the quote from the R (not allowed to talk to Accounts Payable directly or something, AP keeps referring to me in the third person even though I emailed once directly) was "None of this flies" .. R starts calling me & emails asking me to turn in receipts as though I had never turned in any. Wont clarify what receipts, R says they wont pay for extra week & they only needed me for that one day. R said R talked to AP & got a list of items they would approve: 1 night in a hotel, tickets there & back, "Travel Costs" & nothing else, blah blah blah. Well, it also says on their form that you can turn in everything & they will pick & choose & after spending about 10-15 hours on this, I give up. Probably what they wanted. Sent the same form back to them twice, for a total of 3 submissions, & Kafkaesque runaround so dont expect much from their supposed travel reimb & the high & mighty Accounts Payable department at BB. On top of that they are claiming I didnt turn it in within the first month, though I initiated the process within 1 week. If they dont want to pay, why not just follow their own policy? I guess they dont want to pay for any of it.
