Process
I applied online.
The process started with an initial recruiter screening to review the role and confirm that I met the minimum qualifications. After that, I was moved to a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager.
The interview experience was disappointing. The interviewer seemed disengaged throughout the conversation, and the interaction felt more like a one-sided questioning session than a discussion. There was little effort to create a comfortable or conversational atmosphere, which made the experience feel impersonal.
The call ended as soon as the scheduled 30 minutes were over, and I was not given an opportunity to ask any questions at the end. Overall, the process did not match the level of professionalism I expected from the company.
Questions
The hiring manager asked me to walk through my experience against the responsibilities listed in the job description.
