Process

Every person I met with was late, rude, and didn't care about my existence. I got a very pretentious vibe from the people I met with, including the recruiters.

In other interviews I've had, I felt like the interviewers were trying to help me present my best self, calm my nerves, and be friendly. At this company, the interviewers were very serious and rude.

At one point, an interviewer was making faces when I gave a slightly incorrect answer, visibly displeased.

During my interview with HR, I was asked a personal question. I told her that I prefer to keep those details private, and she responded by saying she was going to assume the worst possible answer to that question. I was shocked by her rudeness. Every other time I've given recruiters that answer, they've told me that it wasn't a problem.

Not going to lie, part of the reason why I was treated like this was probably because I performed poorly on my interview. However, this interview still gave me a very negative perspective on this company. I felt like the interview was doable, but I was nervous, and the rudeness definitely affected my performance.
