Recruiter reached out to me asking for my portfolio, resume, and to submit an online application. After doing everything she had asked, it was radio silent for two weeks so I emailed her for an update. She said she would give me an update after the hiring manager does a review, but a couples weeks later, I get an email from Turing saying that the role had been filled.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Turing (Buenos Aires) in Aug 2022
Interview
No preminary HR interview, direct to the hiring manager and HR, then both involved on the same one hour interview.
Questions mainly technical not project management. It seemed the hiring manager had not read my resume as line of questions indicated this!
Overall a poorly structured interview, with limited time to ask questions. The one question I was able to ask was parked till the end, as it seemed the manager had no clear answer and had to think about a response!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name the database structure used for a project of yours?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Turing
Interview
Did 2, first with a talent acquisition staff, which was barebones and basic. Second with a manager, who was beyond rude and terrible at communication.
They decided to ask for a formal case study presentation as part of a 30min intro call, with no previous advance notice either. I wanted to present one I had prepared for another interview, which he refused. He wanted and insisted to look at a project that was still under confidentiality, I tried compromising and showing them some general concepts, which they said they preferred, but at the end complained it didn’t show all the process they wanted to see.
On top of all that, their attitude and behaviour was beyond condescending, rude and unprofessional.
They’re such a mess that, after I emailed the acquisition staff to let them know I did not want to move forward with the process, they gave me two replies, the first, 2 days later, telling me they were not moving me forward with the process, shortly after, another email asking me why I didn't want to move forward with the process.
