Three interviews, one video with the infrastructure engineers, and one in person where I met with the whole IT group.
The process was fine, interviews 2 and 3 were mostly technical with the systems folks and the director, since they didn’t have a network engineer at the time. The questions were pretty much taken from the top Google result for “network engineer interview questions”, but since nobody there had networking experience I can’t blame them too much for that.
Overall, at the time(1-2 years ago), I probably didn’t have the experience they wanted, and I’m not a great interviewer.
Im not sure how they felt, since after the in person interview, the director walked me out, shook my hand, and said he thought that went really well and that I’d hear from them the next day. But they ghosted me.
Not a big deal to be passed over for the position, but I found it unprofessional to just leave me in the dark, their recruiter/hr person couldn’t even be bothered to send me a rejection email.
I won’t be applying at this company again, the vibe I got from the other engineers and director was that they were overworked with little flexibility. They all seemed exhausted, and mentioned how they are 100% in office with zero remote days, and that a PTO day actually means you’re working remote.
To the Koch Co recruiter: please give candidates the sliver of respect and courtesy it takes to send a rejection email, especially when they are that far along in the process.
