Entrevista
Applied online, heard back from the recruiter in two weeks to schedule a phone screening interview. After spending substantial amount of time, the recruiter disclosed the salary for this role, which was 50% of what I was making at that time. Throughout the interview he was condescending. At the end of the call I was glad that it didn’t work out.
phone call with HR, then phone call with hiring manager, then round of team interviews. One last call with the hiring manager before the final offer. Team interview was with around 5 people and took a few hours.

Ageist, hypocritical and lack of best practice!!
Hiring manager asked me during the interview how old I was. I am pretty sure it's illegal to ask the interviewee how old they are.
The whole process really dragged on and was surprisingly inefficient/slow. I got to the final round - after five one on one interviews - where I had to do a presentation for a panel. There were 7 people on the panel. At the end of my presentation, I was told they will get back to me on that day (Thursday) or the next (Friday). On Tuesday of the following week, I still had not heard back so I followed up. "oh yes, sorry for reverting so late, you didn't get the job." After this lengthy and inefficient process, they didn't have the decency and manners to tell me straight away that I did not get the job? I had to chase them up, seriously?? I had turned down another job for this. smh
The feedback on my presentation was that the panel found me "very emotional" (huh??) and "very mature" (again - huh??). Apparently they concluded that I could do the job but they did not think I could cope emotionally. What a joke!
I was annoyed about having to chase them on a reply, after 8 weeks of letting this tedious process drag on and with no concern and consideration for my time and effort. So the least thing I can do is share how badly my application was handled. They were ageist, hypocritical and lacked best practice and manners. I do not understand how Forrester have such good ratings on here.
