Candidate-reported interview process
I had a really well-conducted interview with the HR person. I spoke with the HR supervisor and the HR Coordinator. Unfortunately, I didn't get an offer, but I really liked the interview and the company.
This was easily the worst interview experience I've ever encountered as an executive. The recruiter was condescending and insulting. I tried my best to salvage it, but she was late and totally unprepared. It was a complete disaster!
Had 4 zoom interviews with the director, supervisors, and managers. The interviews were scheduled between 12:00 pm and 4:30 pm, with each interview lasting 30 to 45 minutes. They asked some tough and tricky questions, and one interviewer was more serious than the others. Some interviewers even joined other interviews to listen in and ask questions.
