Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The interview process included:
- A phone interview with a recruiter.
- An interview with the hiring manager about my projects and employment history.
For no apparent reason, they decided to move forward with other candidates, even though I answered all questions correctly. They clearly are biased, have favoritism, and exhibit cockiness.
Questions
Q: Talk about your project and hardships you've faced.
