      Solutions Architect Interview

      4 Mar 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GitLab in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Oh boy, these people are professional time-wasters. I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter to schedule an intro call. It was supposed to be 30 minutes but stretched to an hour because the recruiter had no idea what she was doing. Every time she asked, "Can you tell me about your time at X?" I’d answer, only for her to follow up with multiple additional questions. It felt more like an interview, but I had the time to entertain it. Now for the fun part. She set me up with a call with the hiring manager, who turned out to be one of the most arrogant folks I’ve ever encountered—smirking, laughing at my responses, and asking ridiculous questions like, "What does teamwork mean to you?" I was in disbelief. It felt like he was just blocking off time on his calendar to appear busy. Then, in a move straight out of a bad joke, he said, "Just to be transparent, we have candidates in the final stages, and I plan to move forward with one of them. I just want you to be aware so we don’t waste each other’s time." Yes, he actually said that. Professional? Not in the slightest. And yet, they had no problem wasting MY time. To top it off, I received a generic rejection email, so I let the recruiter have it. People's time is valuable, and these clowns don’t seem to realize that. I hope you guys think twice before wasting your time interviewing here. The company might be great but the recruiting practices are a clown show.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at GitLab

      Interview

      Hyper specific questions on random technologies like flask. Most questions didn't relate to my resume or the listed responsibilities for the role. Rushed and impersonal. Very awkward flow and cadence of interview.

      Can you explain the definition of value?
