Beginning of the interview process was good/average, initial phone call and then a short interview over the phone. Was scheduled for a ‘competency interview’ later in the week, which was then changed last-minute to an in-person interview with the COO. That’s where things went downhill. COO was abrasive, cut me off when answering his questions, and bordering on rude: I felt as though the validity of my STEM degree was called into question. The hiring manager apologised for his behaviour afterwards and said “He’s just like that”. Hiring manager also disclosed he was unimpressed at the candidates he had interviewed so far, which came across as rather unprofessional. Had to chase twice after being told outcomes would be communicated by the end of the week. Company seems disorganised and disingenuous.
