Behavioral Other Presentation

The interview process started with a call from the recruiter, then an in-person meeting with the marketing lead. After that, there was a take-home assignment. Following the assignment, I had another in-person interview, this time with the design lead. The initial stages were fine. But after I submitted my assignment, I was asked for another in-person interview with someone from a different department. This person admitted they hadn't even looked at my assignment and just decided I didn't have enough experience. The interview ended right there. I was really surprised by how unprofessional and disrespectful that was, and how they just wasted my time. It all worked out though because I got hired by a much better company, but my advice is to at least treat candidates with some basic respect and don't waste their time.
