What a two-month roller coaster of an interview process. It started off on the wrong foot with the recruiter addressing an email to me with the wrong name. After clearing up that the email was intended for me, I began the interview process. The phone interview went great. I smashed every answer and connected with the two interviewers on the phone. They said my recruiter would be in touch in 1 to 3 business days. But I heard back 45 minutes later that they wanted to see me in person. They weren't very accommodating with my schedule for the in-person interview. They didn't let me pick the date. Unfortunately, I was out of town on the date, but I flew back into town just for the interview because of how important getting this job was. I arrived to the office, and the whole process was awkward. The receptionist threw together some snacks from their break room into a paper bag for me as a "welcome bag." I met with the first interviewer who asked if I'd like something to drink. I said, "Water would be great." He led me through the office into the break room and pointed at the water dispenser and a stack of cups. I guess I'll get my own water? Very strange. The office seemed to be under construction, but there was no explanation given to me of why it was a mess and I had to step over extension cords. I never even received an office tour. I had four interview slots (six interviewers total), and it went well. They asked tough, thought-provoking questions, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. Several things, however, bothered me about the interviews. There was no back-and-forth conversation. It was 1) ask me a question 2) I answer the question 3) they type my response. They rarely looked up from their computers or offered any type of interaction. It was like talking to a transcriptionist who is only concerned with typing your answers correctly. They also asked several questions that did not relate to my experience at all, so it did not feel as if they were trying to get to know me or my background. For example, they asked several questions about times when I've worked with customers. "Tell me about a time you received negative customer feedback." I've never worked with customers; I've always had office jobs. So it was difficult to give them specific instances. The questions weren't tailored to me at all. And when it's down to the final candidates, your questions should no longer be generic. They should be specific to the interviewee to better understand their work history and potential. Nevertheless, I connected with the interviewers and felt like I was successful in showing them that I was the best fit for the role. A few days later, I received an email that I was not getting an offer. I asked for interview feedback and was told it's against policy to share that. That's the hardest part: devoting two months of your time to a company and it ending very abruptly and insincerely. However, I know it's a big company and they receive many applications and hold many interviews. It was a good learning experience, and I think maybe I don't fit in with a big, corporate company like that. Live and learn!
