Very poor. There was no information about the position or process, and the interviewer was rude and dismissive. I expected better at this level, to be honest.
They asked a few in-depth questions about where I was currently working, but seemed more interested in what the product did than my actual role or contribution. When I brought up relevant pieces of experience to the role, they were hand-waved away or dismissed. The questioning went on for about 20-30 minutes.
Afterwards, I enquired more about the position and was told that they don't hire for specific positions; they hire talent and then assign them where they feel is best. The positions posted online were just a formality.
I was then told that because I've worked in a startup, I would struggle in an Enterprise environment. When I mentioned I had previous long-term experience in Enterprise, I was told it somehow doesn't count.
I commented about it being a remote position, but was told that "I must have seen that somewhere else." When I mentioned I had explicitly applied because it was a remote role, I was told that was a mistake.
They got a little upset when I explained I'm in a different country to the position. I commented that this was explicitly mentioned several times at the top of my LinkedIn profile (where I applied), and also at the top of my resume. The interviewer then proudly told me that they don't read CVs.
We ended the call soon after.
