Had initial phone screen with recruiter who moved me to the next round with the hiring manager. The hiring manager posed three very average questions to me and said I nailed the first two, but the last one didn't have enough metrics (metrics that are confidential to my current employer that I was not willing to share). The interview crashed at that point. The day before the interview, I learned a family member was critically ill. I managed to stay strongly focused throughout the interview and not share this information. As the company preaches transparency, I emailed the recruiter the situation, but never even received even a cursory email back. After 1.5 weeks, I receive a generic rejection. Interviews go both ways. Ironically, the hiring manager's answers to my questions were surprisingly weak and unremarkable considering his position, which provided valuable insight.

I had an initial screening with a recruiter. The recruiter was 13 min late to the call and proceeded to only talk to me for about 15 min to stay on track for her next call. After telling me I had all of the experience needed except working in their specific industry, she told me that I was not the right fit. While I can accept that, she did not even give me a chance to discuss learning the industry, which I feel is the easiest part, people industry hop all the time. She then offered for me to reach out to her with any other questions, job openings, etc. I found 2 other openings that I thought I could be a good fit for and provided a bit more background on how I could learn the industry quickly and received 0 response. I even had an Atlassian employee on the email, who also received 0 response. Frustrating and dismissive experience overall.
