I had interviews with two different hiring managers.

After applying for the position, I received an email from one hiring manager to set up a video interview. Two weeks later, I received an email from another hiring manager to interview with her. The first manager had recommended her to interview me, as he thought my skills would be a better fit for her team.

My first interview was alright. It was a pretty normal and standard interview.

I have to say, the interview I had with the second manager was the most horrible interview I've ever experienced. She acted as if I had begged her for an interview. Yes, I am looking for a better opportunity, and I applied with that expectation.

At the start of the interview, she told me she didn't think this was the kind of position I was looking for. If she thought that, why would she have scheduled the interview and wasted my time and hers?

She was very rude and arrogant.

She asked some situational questions, and after I answered them, she told me my responses were not very convincing. Then, seeing my grades, she asked, "So, this is your mark? We will check your credits if you're moving forward, just letting you know." She asked me to describe a challenging situation I had faced at work. After I shared one, she replied that she didn't feel it was that challenging.

Was she having a bad day, or was something else going on? I don't know.

Before she could share her decision, I told her I did not want to work for her. Can you imagine how negative that experience was for me to tell a manager I didn't want the position? Even if she had offered me a million-dollar salary, I wouldn't have accepted it.

For anyone applying to this company, if you are looking for a good work culture, please stay away.

A small tip for the manager: An interview is an opportunity to get to know a candidate; it is not an interrogation. I felt treated like a criminal.

Situational questions. Some are technical, but pretty straightforward.
