Engineering Manager Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.

First of all, the scheduled appointment with the internal recruiter was changed from 2:00 PM on the scheduled day to 4:30 PM without even asking me if it worked for me or not. The internal recruiter was 7 minutes late to the meeting and arrived later without apologizing for the delay or anything, and just started asking questions immediately. I waited the entire meeting for him to apologize or mention the topic, but he didn't, and I wasn't really comfortable. The English accent was not understandable and it wasn't clear to me. The internal recruiter did not pay attention to what I was saying; for example, I mentioned during my experience introduction that I had already worked with Ruby on Rails in a few projects, and before the end of the meeting, he mentioned that it wasn't an issue if you didn't have any prior RoR experience. I had to stop the process because it was going nowhere, and after the meeting, I sent a message to the internal recruiter telling him that I would not be moving forward with the hiring process as I cannot risk my career or waste my/their time. I hope they take note of these negative issues I experienced and fix them as it affects the company's image.
