I was invited to a 30 minute scheduled phone call with HR after having applied for a position. The interviewer arrived late and the questions were extremely high level. After I finished the call I really had no idea what to think about the call - either way positive or negative as was so non specific. I accepted that this may have just been the purpose of the call - a high level chat. I then received an invite for a second interview invite with a senior manager / director who this position was to report to. The interviewer also turned up late (understand - meetings can overrun). The call was a video call. The interview progressed well - however again it was not very specific in the line of questioning ie some of the things I was expecting to be prepared for where not drilled into at all. Numbers or Stats for example never came up. To my surprise the interview then got terminated within a short amount of time as only 30 mins had been allocated - I had to submit my questions via email - as the person had to vacate the meeting room immediately. When I submitted my questions - some business relating - but also interview process relating, I received very detailed answers about the business questions but the interview next step question was referred back to HR without any indication of even the next steps (I was not trying to find out whether I made it to the next round, just about what was to happen next). That immediately struck me as odd - as it would / should be straight forward to outline what would happen next purely logistically. Secondly, I found it odd that if you are having an interview, the interviewer arrives late, you have to terminate due to a meeting room clash that you get asked to submit your questions in follow up. What I mean by that is that by de prioritising the end of the interview ie you over someone else, it gives an indication of the actual interest in the interviewer. This might not be an uncommon occurance but nevertheless something to highlight. Within 2 days of the interview I did not receive a clarification about the process but a notification from HR that I had not made it to the next round. My learning experience from this is that I would recommend anyone to clarify who you are interviewing with, for how long, the purpose and what may happen at the interview and what the interview process is from the outset, as you are likely to not gain this clarity here voluntarily - at least not from this company. This ultimately would have helped me prepare differently - as I felt I over prepared for the second interview, which to me felt again more like another vetting processes than a in depth interview to just eliminate some candidates early on.
