Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa BioRender.
Entrevista
Their interview process is detailed in advance so there was no surprise there. I had the first round interview with the recruiter. It went well. I checked all the boxes and then some. They actually said you are a perfect fit for the role with your background. At the end of the interview, I asked normal questions. Then I asked if they knew about the negative reviews on Glassdoor for company as well as the culture. I was told they have been made aware and hired a team to help with this months ago. I stated this was a concern about culture and was trying to get an understanding if these were just anomalies or if there might be an issue. I was notified days later I did not move to the next round. I feel strongly it was because I pointed out the negative reviews on this site. RED FLAGS and glad I was not moved forward!

What was the reason you left your last job? What are the detailed reasons?
2nd step with hiring manager was awful. It started out fine, he insisted this was not going to be detailed at all and was just a high-level "get to know you." However, I think I came up against some major xenophobia that changed everything. He must not have taken a decent look at my resume because he disregarded work experience I had in a country that's currently facing political issues. He essentially said he would not be counting my 1 yr of experience there towards my total Sales experience. He then pushed me to give an answer that would have required specific knowledge of the company's clients/ICP (which I don't know cause... I don't work for them?? I haven't been onboarded??). At first I said I would not be able to answer but was pushed to. I did my best. His response was dismissive but also contained a statement that was blatantly incorrect and insinuated I was lying or was said to make me seem foolish for not knowing something I already admitted to not being able to answer. I corrected his false statement immediately, a firm but polite pushback. He was absolutely unable to handle this. Immediately shut down the whole conversation. I felt pretty blindsided by the change in tone and attitude which took quite a disrespectful and dismissive turn. It was so 180 I can only see Xenophobia as a logical reason for it.

Asked for specific names of past clients I've sold to (should have realised in the moment this is an inappropriate thing to request).
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa BioRender (Toronto, ON).

The recruiter did not get me excited to work for BioRender, as the first contact I had with the company in the interview process. Felt like it was just walking through the formality of the interview. I was not very excited to continue through another 4 interview process after that. Recruiter clearly did not read my resume.
