I recently interviewed for an Account Manager role and initially had a very positive experience with the Talent Acquisition team. The first conversation was warm, professional and left me feeling excited about the opportunity. Unfortunately, my experience changed significantly when I met with the hiring manager. I found the interview style quite intense and, at times, confronting. The tone felt very aggressive, which made the conversation uncomfortable and difficult to navigate. By the end of the interview, I felt quite unsettled, which was disappointing given how positive the process had started. I appreciate that different interviewers have different styles, but I believe candidate experience is super important. A more respectful approach would have made a big difference.
