After receiving my resume, I was contacted to know if i was still in job market. Upon my replying stating yes, I was called for in person interview at a notice of 48h. During the interview process, i felt as interviewer, a senior manager, wasn't interested in my responses but more so in negating every answer I gave or arguments I made. At the end of process, he/she suggested me to look for sales rep positions (mind it- I am interviewing for manager position with years of experience and advanced qualifications). Still I was asked to be available for HR phone interview at designated time and date. On the scheduled date and time, I waited and waited but didn't receive any call. I called HR number and left voice messages for designated person. NO reply. I tried again next day and left message again. NO REPLY. After 5 days, I received a voice message from same manager who interviewed me saying I didn't make through interview. I emailed back and left voice message asking feedback. NO REPLY. If they had made up their mind, I would have expected that they informed me in advance that they cancelled HR interview instead of me waiting for their call. This was totally unprofessional on Qiagen's part. Also, senior manager didn't show any respect to me as candidate or to my qualifications/experience. I constantly got impression that he/she was trying to prove how is he/she came up hard way and so should everyone. I am wondering if it was worth working for such managers even if I was offered job.

Phone screen followed by on-site interview with hiring manager, one level above, and some direct reports. It took a bit over a month to receive job offer. The direct reports were not adequately trained on how to give an interview.
