The hiring process took a while to conclude. Initially, I was contacted by an administrative assistant who confirmed my continued interest. Following this, I was invited for an interview at a location that proved hard to locate. Upon arrival at the scheduled time, the interview panel was delayed, and importantly, the interview venue had been changed without my prior notification. During the interview, the panel posed complex and lengthy questions, after which they remained silent and observed me. The overall experience felt unusual, and based on the caliber of the interviewers, I decided against pursuing employment with the company.
