Worst interview process ever. Interviewed with HR, got a rejection, then a week later was invited to interview. Started with director, as opposed to the manager I’d report to, which I thought was weird. She didn’t have her camera on, which was not only annoying, but disrespectful. Plus, she did 95% of the talking and hardly asked me anything. After 3 interviews with the manager and director, and several positively-received follow-ups, interviewed with a peer panel who acted like the job was brain surgery; only one of them smiled and didn’t act like I was inconveniencing them. Long gaps between interviews and scheduling, with a full month between the first and second interviews. Finally was told thanks but no thanks after 82 days of BS. They said they found a candidate “who was a better fit” which is meaningless. I felt like it could be ageism even though I’m nowhere near retiring and did not feel (much) older than anyone I interviewed with. I was 100% qualified and thought I had excellent responses to the interview questions. When I asked very politely and graciously for feedback so I could improve my application/interviewing process… crickets. Overall, not treated in a very humane/respectful manner. If this is how they act, I’m guessing I dodged a bullet.
