I applied after being referred by former colleague. Following a phone screen with the recruiter, I was brought in to interview with several members of the team. I was told to come in at one, but received a last minute the morning of that the times had changed, but the recruiter "forgot to let me know." Since it was their mix up, they kept the interview schedule as is, but there was a 30 minute hole where I was just sitting in their interview lounge. The interview consisted of a mixture of panel and one-on-one interviews, and a writing test. The team seemed great, and I left feeling excited for the opportunity. Following the initial interview, I received an email from the hiring manager letting me know the team liked.ke, and wanted to move forward with me as a candidate. I was asked to come in for a second interview with two members of the team and a senior manager. The senior manager was sick that day, so I only met with the two consultants. Here's where it took a turn. I was asked if I was available later that week to have a phone interview with the senior manager. I said I was available on the time they provided, but never received an email confirmation. I followed up, and was told that they were still trying to finalize a time for the interview, but we're targeting the next day for an in person interview at 1 pm. I told them that I was available, but needed to know if it was confirmed as soon as possible so I could make arrangements to travel into San Francisco. Later that week, I received an email, at 9:40 pm, that the position was being put on hold until a senior manager could be hired. I followed up to ask if that meant I was still a candidate, but received no response. I followed up a week later, and was told that I was not being considered as a candidate because my video and design skills weren't current enough. I feel the need to point out that, although I do have video and design skills, neither of those were listed as prerequisite for the role. Furthermore, the company has an in-house designer and videographer and I would not have been reporting to this individual or Working on their team. I'm not upset (heck, I'm grateful that I didn't get the job, because I feel I dodged a bullet), but I do wish they'd been more organized, hadn't structure G me along for so long, and hadn't given me such a bogus reason for not selecting me. Additionally, I think it is extremely unprofessional to send a rejection notice after business hours, especially after 9 pm. I couldn't recommend Blue Shield as an employer, and will never post for a job at that company again.
