From applying online there was a 2 stage process.
1) 1-to-1 telephone interview
2) A face to face interview with a presentation
I had a telephone interview which lasted 20 minutes on 10/12/17 - folIowing my success in the phone interview they scheduled the face-to-face interview for 23/01/18 (which I still don't understand why it taken them so long when the interviewer on the phone mentioned they need BA's as soon as possible).
Progressing to the face-to-face interview; I had the team leader pick me up from reception and gave me the presentation task and I sat in the interview room for 1hr 15mins by myself. at this point I was hoping at least the hiring manager would show their face and introduce themselves and the process however this was not the case.
After giving the presentation; I had the face-to-face interview and during this time I found out 2 things:
1) the job I applied for (Senior Business analyst); was not the job I was being interviewed for as the role they ended up being interviewed for was a Junior Business Analyst.
2) the salary advertised was also less than advertised since they told me I'm interviewing for.
Concluding the interview; they also asked my current and expected salary which I felt was unprofessional and unnecessary.
To conclude; this is the worst managed end-to-end process that I have ever experienced, as not only was I lied to about the role which I applied for; but also the lack of communication that I had regarding this whole process. They didn't need to take more than 6 weeks from phone interview to face-to-face and really could have done a better job in making me feel welcomed once I was on site (e.g. Having Hiring manager introduce themselves 1st)
