The process was supposed to consist of four interviews: two behavioral rounds and two case interviews. However, the experience was disorganized from the start. The first behavioral interview was scheduled with a partner who never showed up. I waited on Zoom for the full duration and later contacted HR, who informed me that the interviewer had gone on vacation without arranging a replacement. The next round was a case interview, which went well, followed by another behavioral interview that also proceeded smoothly. The final round was another case interview, but the experience was negative. The interviewer came across as unprofessional, chewing gum throughout the session and responding dismissively when I presented assumptions. While I welcome rigorous pressure-testing, the tone felt unnecessarily rude, with comments like “whatever, I don’t care,” which made the interaction uncomfortable. Overall, the experience was disappointing. The no-show in the first round affected my confidence early on, and the tone of the final interview compounded that negative impression. Communication throughout the process was minimal, with little transparency or support provided. At times, it felt more like an opportunity for interviewers to practice rather than a structured and respectful evaluation process. This was particularly surprising given that the company had proactively reached out to me to interview, rather than me applying directly.
