Phone/video interview with recruiter & then video interview with manager. Process relatively easy and straight forward. Standard interview process. Questions asked were general and not difficult. Work hours and pay were below expectations.

I have never felt compelled to write a review for an interview, but given my recent experience with Empower, I feel compelled to leave one so others can see. I scheduled an interview for a Friday morning and received email confirmation with a Zoom link. I took off work to prepare the morning before the interview, and when I joined the Zoom room, I ended up waiting for 20 minutes. No one showed up. I emailed the recruiter asking for an opportunity to reschedule, and got no response. A few days later, I got a rejection email stating that they had “decided to move forward with another candidate.” I have never experienced something so unprofessional. I am also perplexed as to how one can make the decision to pass on a candidate when they never even interviewed them. I can’t even rate the interview difficulty on here because no one showed up.

Three interviews, all on Zoom with one or two panelists for roughly thirty minutes per interview. It can go up to an hour for each interview. The panelists introduce themselves and give a brief elevator pitch, then offer the hot seat to you to do the same.
