This is hands down the most horrible interview process I ever had. I applied for the Web Developer Apprentice position in NY. I applied for the September cohort. I applied online and a recruiter immediately emailed about setting up a behavioral phone screen. It was a chain of recruiters actually. The first recruiter emailed me about the interview. The second recruiter asked about my availability and set up the appointment. A third recruiter called me for the phone screen. I was very disturbed by the phone screen: 1) This position requires relocation to their Boston HQ for 8 out of the 12 weeks of the program. Neither the job positing nor Intrepid's web page mentioned this. 2) Apprentices are only paid $18.75/hr for the full-time position. Apprentices are also responsible for finding housing and paying their own relocation costs. My recruiter suggested AirBnb. I was invited to a technical phone screen. My interviewer never called me. I contacted my recruiter, who took a week to get back to me. I was rescheduled. The technical phone screen was ridiculously easy. I was invited for an onsite interview and Intrepid would pay for my plane ticket. After almost a week, my recruiter still had not gotten back to me about an appointment. I had other interviews to schedule and I told my recruiter so. My recruiter finally got back to me and said that the position had been filled but I could pursue the January cohort. I said I was not interested. Intrepid is clearly interviewing too many people at once, which causes a big delay in communication with candidates. I believe this affected my chances of getting the apprenticeship. I was also sweet-talked by my recruiter to continue the interview process even though I hesitated when I found out about the relocation requirement. My recruiter tried to exploit the fact I attended a bootcamp. He assumed I took out a massive loan and tried to convince me that the Apprenticeship was was a path to a job. Even though these are in-house recruiters, I feel they must receive extra bonuses for closing a candidate. Also, I feel they pay their apprentices too little. Boston is a pricey area. Since all apprentices have to relocate to Boston no matter what office they apply to, Intrepid should pay for relocation and provide housing. Intrepid should not tell candidates to look at AirBnb. Their Boston HQ is located in Cambridge, which is a college town. Most places want renters who will stay for the school year and not 8 weeks.
