QBP Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was very smooth and easy, with 3 interviews in total, so it didn't waste my time. The HR person was helpful. There was one peer interview and one final interview. Overall, it was very smooth and I'm happy with how it went.

This was the most awkward, unprofessional phone screen I have ever had. The interviewer was about five minutes late to the interview - I even left the Microsoft Teams room and re-entered just to double check that I was in the correct meeting. He was silent for the first few minutes of it while he got organized, and needless to say it was very awkward as I just watched him adjust his screen and look through his files for my resume. When he began asking me questions, he would stop me mid-sentence so he could write my response as I went along. At times I'd start speaking, and he told me to wait. At the end of my answers, he would finish writing for a couple of minutes (more awkward silence), and read back to me things that I actually did not say. This completely threw me off, and I've never experienced something like this during a phone screen. At the end of the screen, he told me that I need to add more hard data to my answers, and he actually plugged in numbers to my responses that I did not disclose, and rewrote things in ways that did not reflect my experience. Almost as if he was doing me a favor? The questions were very open-ended, so drilling down into hard data was not even asked of me. I have been successfully in my profession for 15 years and am also passionate about cycling, so I felt this was going to be a great fit. I am confident of my expertise and results, and I was not quite sure what to make of the interview until it was over and I had some time to process it. It's a shame that qualified, enthusiastic candidates are being overlooked due to a horrible screening process. I'm marking the interview as "average" simply because it wasn't easy or difficult, it was just a mess. As an aside, the first interview was scheduled 42 days out from when I first applied. 42 DAYS! Also, it's been about 3 weeks and I have not heard anything back either way.

This whole thing was a joke and a waste of time. The first thing they asked was about salary expectations. I said I wanted to learn more about the role first. Then they just read the job description aloud. For the next hour, they told me I could only speak one sentence at a time because they couldn't capture what I was saying. It was super awkward, felt like a prank show. They read back everything word-for-word, and I had to correct them a bunch. They called back the next day, and when I asked how they were doing, expecting to discuss the role, they started the interview over like we hadn't spoken. I had to interrupt them to remind them we did this yesterday. Honestly, I'm not even sure they matched my answers to the right candidate. I expected HR to follow up, but no one did via email or phone. Definitely a joke, but it's good I know to avoid QBP now.

This was one of the strangest, most unprofessional interviews I've ever had. The recruiter was almost 10 minutes late. I'd gotten a reminder email saying it was a casual "get to know you" chat with no camera needed, but then they immediately asked me to turn my camera on. It was odd given the previous day's email. Right away, they'd ask a question and then interrupt me to type out answers, leaving me in silence for minutes sometimes. They made comments about making my answers sound better, which was off-putting. One answer took over five minutes of typing, and then they expected me to finish. I have no idea what they submitted because I barely got to answer questions. Their TV was on in the background, which was really distracting. It's a shame because after this, I had zero interest in working there.
