Initial interview with recruiter - Writing exercise - Interview with the Executive Leadership Team- Interview with CEO and a walkthrough of the space. They were not transparent about the timing at all. It was all about their timeline and I was never asked about mine. They also told me that when I interviewed on a Friday before a long holiday weekend they would get back to me before the end of the day. They explicitly went out of their way to say that. There was no follow-up until the end of the day when the long weekend was over. There was no apology. After my final interview with the CEO, I was then sent a text on Sunday that was fairly ominous. There was nothing saying that they were really excited about my candidacy. They wanted to ask me follow-up questions. The final round with one of the members of the Executive Team who clearly has never ran an interview process before and / is unaware of best practice was extremely unpleasant and I felt it abusive. I was asked about the gaps in my resume. This is a question that shouldn't be asked anymore. It's archaic. Given the job market if feels like there is blame on the employee. A typo in my resume was also brought up. The scrutiny and concern over that was shocking given that I sent in a well-written exercise as well as several thank you notes. It gave me the impression that they were not a people-first environment. There was a lack of empathy for having to interview. I was treated like I did something wrong. They never said, it's as important for the candidate to feel comfortable and still remain interested. They didn't show any interest in the candidate's experience. I had given my all and I responded honestly about the gaps instead of shutting it down right then and there. To do that to a candidate at the end of the experience is not only rude, but it shows a lack of real trust right off the bat. I'm glad that they decided not to even bother with my references...asking me if I even had them?? It was so insulting and I know that I dodged a bullet given the poor ratings about the leadership team.
