& Process

The interview went really well. I used the STAR method to structure my responses, which helped me stay clear, confident, and organized throughout the conversation. The questions were straightforward and aligned with my experience, so I felt prepared. The interviewer was very pleasant, professional, and easy to talk to.

The interview was really strange. The interviewer kept asking personal questions about my current job, my boss, and why I was looking to leave. She asked the same questions over and over. I eventually told her I didn't want to speak negatively about my current employer and asked how her questions related to the job I applied for. The interviewer was confrontational and not friendly at all. All her questions felt like an interrogation rather than genuine inquiries about my experience and skills. Just when I thought we were done with why I was leaving my current company, she'd ask another question about dealing with a tough supervisor or why I found it easier to leave after a few months instead of fixing the problem. I kept telling her I wasn't going to badmouth my current job, no matter how she rephrased it or how many times she asked. I ended up cutting the interview short and said I wasn't interested anymore. She didn't ask anything about my skills or experience. It seems like they have issues with employee retention and want to see if candidates can handle difficult supervisors, which is probably why she kept asking those questions.

I was hesitant to apply because of what others went through for this job. Three interviews felt like too much for the position, probably wasting time for me and them. They were interviewing in November for a February start. The first interview was a 40-minute phone call with a team lead a week after I applied, even though they said it would be 20 minutes. Standard questions. The second interview was a video call a week later with two team leads, lasting 35 minutes instead of the promised 20. Only one lead talked, the other just took notes. I was surprised by their casual attire and home backgrounds on video, expecting more professionalism for such a long process. The interviewer said I'd hear about a third interview the next week and assured me they wouldn't ghost me, which is ironic because that's exactly what happened. They never let me know I didn't get the job, and the second interviewer didn't reply to my status check email. So, I didn't get the job, but since being ignored is a big pet peeve of mine, I guess it worked out for the best for me. I'm still a Rock Star!
