Another review that further confirms what everyone else is saying. The recruiter who interviewed me was grossly unprofessional. Recruiters should act as the face of the company and be truly reflective of the company values. Unfortunately, this one was not. They were completely abrasive and condescending in the way they spoke. Interviews are two sided conversations. It's not the candidate doing circus tricks in a try out. This interview felt like I was going through a really fast drill. Other reviews said this, and I am confirming it with my experience : 1. Recruiter is robotic and difficult to connect with--yes I genuinely wanted to know what their experience was like working at toast and they gave me some low effort disingenuous answer. Reviews about difficulty connecting is definitely true. 2. Condescending--yes They devalued my work experience even though I was well qualified for the role and my role before was practically identical. Overall tone was "impress me", "do this" (in a snappy way) type of attitude. No way was this a valuable conversation at all. 3. Reading a script--yes It felt like they were reading through something really quickly and was like MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! I thought I was running through fire. I normally send Thank You notes to the interviewers after the calls. Since this person rudely told me, "If you get there you'll get the info before" when I asked about the interview protocols, I did not want to waste my time writing a thank you email because I instantly knew they already passed on me based on the way they spoke me. Sure enough, I got the automated rejection email within 24 hours. One more thing for recruiters: make sure you are direct when you ask questions. Don't ask questions that are disguised as other questions! People have different communication styles and can misunderstand what you are asking, hence not giving you the insight you are looking for. Best to be direct. I have hiring experience and I saw right through this sneaky tactic! Glad to be rejected from this, I don't think it would've been good to continue interviewing. Someone else said decide carefully if you want to proceed further and I have to agree.
