Candidate-reported interview process

There were two interviewers and it felt pretty casual. They gave us a quick tour. The interview felt like a two-way street, giving me a chance to interview them back too if it felt like a good fit.

For a Project Specialist contract role, there were 2 interview rounds, each lasting a bit over 2 hours with continuous questioning. Each round involved at least 6 interviewers. The final hiring decision took nearly a month.

A recruiter reached out after finding my resume online. I expressed interest and an HR scheduler set up an interview. I arrived on time for my mid-morning interview, but the interviewers were late and I waited over an hour in the lobby. My first contact apologized, saying a meeting came up. They emphasized that it was a non-salaried role with a low hourly rate for a college graduate. I spoke with 3 people who seemed disinterested and skeptical of my capabilities despite my qualifications. I found the process unprofessional and disrespectful.
