Behavioral Presentation Case
The recruiter was super nice. My first interview with the hiring manager went great, I felt really good about it. The final round had three 30-minute interviews back-to-back, then a 25-minute presentation I had to give based on a prompt. After that, there was a 20-minute panel Q&A with all four interviewers. I spent a lot of time preparing the presentation, which was based on a prompt sent a week before. But after the final round, it was obvious they shouldn't have brought me this far. I felt humiliated. They said they'd get back to me in a week. Eight days later, the hiring manager called, sounding cold, and said I wasn't a fit because of the people I'd be working with, implying I was beneath them. I knew I wouldn't get the job and was embarrassed, but their explanation and tone made me feel even worse. Be careful if they hype you up. Unless you're an absolute all-star with tons of confidence and self-esteem, don't bother.

- Can you tell me about your weaknesses?
- What are your long-term career aspirations?
- Imagine a scenario where a client questionnaire draft is late and doesn't align with the client's objectives. You can't make changes yourself, and the methodologist is unavailable for revisions. How would you handle this situation?

Behavioral Technical
This was hands down the best interview experience I've had. The recruiter and hiring manager were super respectful of my time and feelings. I always got updates quickly, and they were flexible with my schedule for the interviews. The interviews themselves were challenging but enjoyable because the people were nice and skilled, and the questions were smart and made sense.

The interview process involved two personality tests. The first test seemed to validate my profile for the "next step," but in the second test, my answers were apparently no longer considered good, even though the questions were the same. I find it very destabilizing that a company, which should understand how these tests work, evaluates candidates based on tests with questions that make no sense and have no correct answers. Especially when considering the biases of social recognition and the problems of understanding or interpreting questions. It's worrying, useless, and dehumanizing!
