The overall interview process was structured, started with a pre-screening call with HR, followed by a more in-depth conversation with a potential teammate to assess both technical skills and behavioral alignment. I appreciated the chance to speak with someone from the team directly, as it gave me a better sense of the role and the team dynamic. However, my first impression during the HR pre-screening wasn't the most positive. The HR exec joined the call over 20 minutes late without prior notice, I only received an email 30 minutes later asking me to rejoin. During the call, they informed me that they had been caught up in a meeting, but this wasn’t communicated ahead of time, which led me to wait in the call without any update. During the call, they are distracted, frequently checking their phone and not maintaining professional posture or eye contact. At times, my questions were either met with passive aggressive responses or ignored altogether. I understand that one individual may not reflect the company as a whole, but first interactions matter. I hope this feedback helps highlight the importance of mutual respect and professionalism in interviews.
