The experience was a stark contrast between the initial interaction with the recruiter and the subsequent meeting with the manager. The recruiter's interview was relatively standard, filled with general questions and conducted with cordiality. I felt at ease as we discussed my qualifications and experiences. However, the tone shifted dramatically when I met with the manager. From the moment the manager began the interview, it was evident that his demeanor was far from welcoming. His serious expression and frequent yawns painted a picture of disinterest that permeated the entire conversation. Instead of engaging with me about my professional background and skills, he seemed more focused on highlighting the negatives of the role I was applying for. It quickly became apparent that the manager had already made up his mind about the ideal candidate, and I was merely a formality in the hiring process. His lack of interest in my experiences or qualifications was evident, and it left me feeling disrespected and undervalued. Throughout the interview, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was wasting my time. It was clear that the manager's mind was already made up, and any effort I put into the conversation was futile. In the end, the experience left a sour taste in my mouth. While I understand that not every interview will lead to a job offer, I had hoped for a basic level of respect and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was sorely lacking in this particular interaction. Moving forward, I will be more cautious in pursuing opportunities with organizations that fail to value the time and effort of their candidates.

Don't waste your time applying here. It was one of my worst job interviews EVER. The first and second interviews went okay. The interview with the CEO was traumatic. I live in a different part of the world with a different timezone so I had to wake up very early in the morning to attend an interview with the CEO - only to be ghosted. Not once - but twice. Who would want to work for a company who has a CEO that is unprofessional?
