Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Summary of the overall poor experience I had:

  • The interviewer hadn't bothered to book a meeting room for the interview.
  • The interviewer tried to take the call from a loud communal area (think the kitchen).
  • When I mentioned the level of noise, the interviewer told me to "deal with it".
  • I had to push back and tell the interviewer to move to somewhere quiet.
  • The interviewer consistently interrupted my answers every couple of sentences, throwing me off.
  • I had to keep the interviewer on track during the interview, clarifying if I should move onto subsequent parts of the questions to keep us on time.
  • Overall, I got the sense that the interviewer hadn't been adequately prepped.
