Lengthy interview process with inconsistent follow-up from recruiter. Started with a contract recruiter who was very helpful. Then radio silence and found out the position was shifting to non-contractor sourced and had to start over with application and interview process. Peer interview was filled with "gotcha questions," and felt like they were trying to prove why I was not right for the job.

Question 1
How would you address a gap in yield from your university partners at the end of the recruiting cycle?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Intuit (Mountain View, CA)
Interview
Repeated inconsistent communication throughout the interview process. Recruiter stated she would follow-up and days would go by without any response. During the in person interview, the team made me feel unwelcome. It felt more like I was being vetted for some club than for a professional role interfacing with universities to source and hire mid-career professionals.
