    1. Customer Success Engineer Interview

      Average Interview
      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ActiveState (Vancouver, BC) in Jul 2023

      Interview

      Initial phone screen by an SR HR partner. Was an engaging conversation with a follow up booking for me to meet with the CPO for round 2. Ghosted on second round zoom interview without explanation or advanced notice. Informed them that I'm no longer interested in applying for the role by email and dropped out of the process. Frustrating because they booked me on a friday afternoon when I could have made plans otherwise. Think twice, nuff said
      Interview

      They asked me about my salary expectations, if I'm okay with 3 weeks vacation and a few other things.
