A Yamaha recruiter reached out shortly after I applied in late January. I had an initial interview with the hiring manager who immediately set up a follow-up interview with his boss, the training department manager. The first interview went well, and I left feeling confident. The second interview with the training manager felt cold. He did not seem to fully understand the position (or at least explained it differently than the hiring manager) and was almost argumentative with his responses at times (i.e - what accomplishment are you most proud of? "Finishing my master's degree..." His response was, "yeah but that's not really a personal accomplishment..."). After the second interview, he told me he would let me know either way. I waited about two weeks and then had a second recruiter reach out to me regarding the position saying my resume looks like it would be a great fit. I told them I had already interviewed and was hoping for an update. Again, silence for another two weeks. The hiring manager then accepted my request on Linkedin, so I asked him about the next steps for the position. They informed me that I met their qualifications initially, but they are currently looking for someone with more experience. In summary, the interview process seemed unorganized and raised a few red flags about their talent acquisition process. It takes less than two minutes to give a candidate an update on their application. Doing this is standard for most companies, especially after they have spent a couple of hours in interviews.
