Process

1st. HR phone screening - professional and pleasant experience.

2nd. Tech meeting via Teams with 3 test engineers - pleasant experience. Each engineer posted technical questions and scenarios based questions. They also share with me the role require both software and hardware knowledge which completely fit my skillset.

3rd round with hiring manager, friendly manager. 2 directors which gave me an awkward feeling as in they did not read my resume, did not listen to my answer. One of senior director even criticise my current company that is not good that's why I choose to leave. Gosh, first experience especially the words came from the head of dept in an established organisation.

Completely a waste of time with very rude interviewer.

If you dislike my profile and did not believe the reason I gave on each past jobs. Please do not call me for this 3rd round interview.

I felt lucky enough as the interviewer shown his true color during this session.

Questions

The questions posted by hiring manager

Why you left xxx

I answered it is due to mismatched expectation.

Then the other rude interviewer repeat the same question again.

Then I answered as I shared earlier, if my expectation isn't meet, then it is time for me to leave.

The rude interviewer continue saying

Oh ya so this xxx is such a bad company right.

I got triggered and answered

I do not think xxx is a bad organisation, in fact the people and my current manager is a nice person to work with.

Then I posted a simple question to them and ended the session quickly.
