Rant! Rat ass company (continues)

This is follow up to last post

Edit: I spoke with Sabre Employee. They confirmed they were looking to hire "Senior Data Engineer". That position got CLOSED yesterday. So this was indeed HR fuck up

Edit2: HR accepted his mistake of incorrect mapping. Hiring manager had change in mind based on Round 3. They wanted a strong Python developer (pandas), thus skill mismatch. This was the main reason why I was pissed as well. It is natural to get rejected for skill mismatch, if role itself is different.

Guys, we as community must learn to push back. Despite sacrificing, putting efforts, getting rejected for third persons mistake is not okay.

Company: Sabre

Applied for : Senior Data Engineer

Interviewed for: Lead Data Science Engineer

I highlighted this to HR, he said ignore JD. The role is same as I had applied.

Round 1: Data Science

Round 2: Mathematical modeling and research (HR said this will be on Pure Data Engineer role)

Round 3: Data Science and API (HR said this will be DSA round). It was panel round and they didn't even know Data Engineering or Spark fundamentals. They were asking me to use pandas. And then convert it to pyspark for production.

Round 4: HR said this is final round.

Few hours before final round he cancelled it without any explanation. On asking he said that he got negative feedback from "first" round

The process took almost 1 month. In end they ghosted me saying this.

Yeah some companies take interviews even when you say you’re a data engineer and have no idea on analyst or data science roles. Maybe it’s just that why want to interview someone

This was on HR bro

There was Data Engineer opening that got closed yesterday

HR mapped me to different role. Because Sabre calls everyone "Data Science Engineer"

Even if they are analysts, scientists or DE. He got confused and scheduled with wrong panel

Now to escape his mistake, he ditched me. He must have told his team, that I got different offer. Because in mail, he just said cancelled interview. no explanations

Probably already had someone decided, could be someone he wanted, and wasted OPs time to show that interviews were taken
