I applied online. I interviewed at Motorola Solutions (Schaumburg, IL) in May 2018
Interview
I applied online and received an email a few weeks later about setting up a phone screen. I talked with a project manager, who asked me simple questions about items on my resume, nothing too technical. I was also asked about working in a team, learning new technologies, etc. They had another team member call me the next day, where they asked me specific questions about MySQL (which was on my resume). I didn't get any further in the process since I didn't have as much professional experience as they would like.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Explain what keys are in MySQL and how they are used
First round is a phone interview where hiring manager introduces the company and role and asks about past experiences and projects. Second round is a video call technical interview where I was asked some general object oriented programming and data structures fundamentals, asked to complete 2 simple C coding questions, and explain my approach to an online assembly coding challenge that I completed before this call. Final round is onsite where team members ask about past experiences and ask more C coding questions.
Thanks for sharing your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience was less than ideal as we strive to provide the best candidate experience. With your input, we hope to improve our hiring process.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Motorola Solutions in Mar 2024
Interview
No-show and ghosted by recruiter.
After doing a Colidity test, I have been scheduled for a first interview, but the recruiter did not show up. After waiting for 20 minutes, I sent an email, but I didn't get a reply. After 30 minutes, I thought I should try to call the office phone number present in the recruiter's email signature. Unfortunately, I got an automated reply asking for a voice message. I sent a voice message. I had no follow-up since then.
After 10 days, I sent another email in hope to get an update, but no follow up. Looking up online, however, I noticed that they were still actively recruiting for that position. It is at this time of writing that I got an automated rejection email from Motorola.
This has been an unfortunate experience since the work looked rather interesting, and I believe I would have made for a good candidate. After having put in the time to tailor the CV and doing the coding test, it would have been kind to at least follow up.
This ordeal was frankly unprofessional.
