The entire interview process has been a red flag from the start. When HR first reached out, I immediately let them know that I couldn’t make the suggested time and asked if it could be moved. I followed up twice with reminders and received no response at all. In the end, I joined the call at the originally scheduled time simply because no one bothered to acknowledge my messages. This alone suggests either a lack of consideration for applicants or an HR team that is completely overwhelmed — neither of which inspires confidence. I was then told I would move on to the next round, meeting with the Hiring Manager — essentially my future manager — for a behavioural interview. From the moment the conversation began, it was clear she didn’t want to be there. Every answer I gave was met with unnecessary correction or condescending remarks, as if her goal was to assert superiority rather than evaluate my experience. The tone was aggressive, dismissive, and frankly toxic. It took only a few minutes to realize this was not someone I would ever want to work under. The irony is hard to ignore: her “know‑it‑all” attitude comes despite the fact that the company was recently fined by Swedish authorities for failures in its AML program — the very program she leads. The interview didn’t just reveal her leadership style; it revealed deeper cultural issues that I have no interest in stepping into. Did I dodge a bullet? 100 %
