Interview
From the get go, organisation for the interview was dreadful. After agreeing a mutually suitable time, two email confirmations for a different time were then sent out. No reply was given when this was queried, and no one showed up to the interview (virtual due to Covid). When I emailed again I was told there was a "miscommunication" on their side.
The interview was rescheduled and the experience went totally downhill. The interviewer continuously rolled his eyes and sighed. Asked me very vague open questions and then told me I wasn't being specific enough. When I then asked my questions about the role, I received vague non-specific and non-committal answers (oh the irony). After being told that there was basically no training offered by the company ("US headquarters occasionally send out video training on Diversity or something") and being told that it was a terrible interview and whilst I'd progress to the next stage it wouldn't go well, I decided to withdraw my application. Not a great impression at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
What types of projects do you like?
Grueling. An entire day devoted to interviewing with over 6 persons, Must study leadership principles before interview; must sit in on a prep session. Ridiculous, especially after learning how badly they treat their employees.
They announced a time and date that anyone could come to the interview, hundreds of people showed up and the line wrapped around the parking lot. You waited in a straight line until your turn, they had a room full of multiple people interviewing in the front. When it was your turn you walked up to the next person available to interview you and you got interviewed in front of everyone in the room and everyone in line.

I don't really remember the questions, I think I blacked out with fear thinking of all the people listening to me answer the questions...
