I applied online at the beginning of 2025 for a Localization Project Manager position. The first interview with their Operations Manager was a short call, reviewing my CV and skills, and we actually discussed a team lead role. She was somewhat cold but polite, scheduling the next step right after we finished. The second interview with the Hiring Manager and CEO was announced as a 15-minute culture fit call, but it turned into an awkward 45-minute session that felt more like an interrogation from the CEO, going through a list of behavioral questions, repeatedly pushing for more details, especially about my last employer (even questioning my further explanations by saying “so this is all that was not good there?”). By the end, I wasn’t given the chance to ask anything, I had to interrupt their goodbye just to ask about next steps. The entire process looked like they were in a hurry to hire, they said they’d follow up within 2–3 weeks, but I never heard back.
