Process
The interview process began with a 30-minute session with an unprofessional recruiter who used profanity. This was followed by a 45-minute interview with the hiring manager.
The role was not explained until the second interview. It turned out to be a waste of time, as the position was not for a people manager. Instead, it was for a glorified PR reviewer expected to 'influence' stubborn gamers on the importance of quality. No thanks.
