The interview process was going fine until the third interview. My first interview focused on my project management skills and past experience, which was okay. The second was with a consultant and was more about my fit with the team and the type of environment I thrive in. The third interview, however, was strange. I was initially told by the first interviewer that there would be two phone interviews followed by an onsite final interview, but that's not what happened. This third interview was a phone call with the principal. He asked about my resume and then delved into my international background, inquiring why I wasn't seeking employment in the regions I previously worked in. He suggested I figure out a way to get a job there instead of here. I felt this was discriminatory. At the end of the call, he mentioned there were three more phone interviews pending, and due to interviewers being on vacation, a response might take two to four weeks.

The interview process was quite basic. It started with a recruiter call where the HR person seemed disengaged, either due to language barriers or just reading a script. After that, it devolved into chaos at the client's 'back office' which was just a space they were occupying. The setup was disorganized, especially with 'senior' staff who appeared unprepared and were constantly moving around during the entire interview. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're serious about your career, although the pay might be good.

The entire interview process took less than two weeks, from applying to getting the offer. It was mostly informal and the interviewers were super friendly, which made me feel comfortable and less nervous. The company seems to hire really modest people, and you can tell that from all the current employees.
