I applied online. I interviewed at Flipp (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2017
Interview
Shortly after applying I was contacted by a member of their HR team requesting a phone interview. I scheduled the interview online which was very convenient. Following the success of the phone interview (aprox 30mins) I was called back a week later and asked to come in for an in person interview. I would be meeting with the Ops Manager and a Project Lead. That interview was around an hour in length. The HR person I spoke with on the phone initially met me at the front reception area and gave me a tour of the beautiful office space. The two individuals I met with were very nice and personable, it made the interview process less stressful. Two days after that I received a call to come in for a final interview with the Director of Operations and a Project Lead to present my case study that they supplied me with.

Interview
I got an email regarding phone interview. They rearranged the time once and then called on time. It took about 15 minutes. It was in general a good experience. Just typical experience questions. They don't seem to be very interested.
I had a horrible experience with them. I had applied for Flipp recently and I got an email to schedule a phone interview on their calendar. I did that and scheduled interview at 3 pm on one of the days. The day of interview I emailed the person again, just to confirm the phone interview. she replied, "Yes, thank you for your email" at 12.30 pm.
I take the half day off from my work and go to home so that I can talk with concentration. I waited and got no call. At 3:15 pm I got an email from her co-worker asking to reschedule because she is sick.
I had to reschedule with Matt, and I emailed him to confirm the interview. "No-reply'
The day of interview, he called and started asking regular interview questions. I have done a bunch of interviews and this has been the dullest interviewer I had faced.
Most of the answers he replied with; 'For - sure' .
Tell me why you want to work with Flipp. After my answer he replied: 'For sure'. Who replies for sure to that?
I could tell he sounded a bit tired and interview was just becoming one sided, as all his questions were one-liner and answers : 'For sure'.
So, I wanted to lighten it up and added some Soccer analogy about team work and hard work. He replied (you've guessed it right) , 'For sure'.
At the end, he asked me if I had any questions and I asked him about company principles . He literally read the paragraph from the website and he was saying it so fast that you can tell he did not mean a single word.
Anyways, next day I got a typical copy paste message about how he appreciates the offer and all.
How can someone who hates their job be asked to interview someone else?
