My interview experience was disappointing due to Chief Customer Officers approach and tone. During the conversation, she repeatedly questioned the value of my background and made several comments that felt more like personal criticisms than professional inquiries. Rather than asking for clarification, she dismissed parts of my experience because some of my roles lasted around two years, even after I explained that I had been recruited by former supervisors and left on successful terms.
Her remarks came across as accusatory and unnecessarily harsh, which made the discussion feel uncomfortable and unproductive. Instead of exploring the results I delivered or the context around my career progression, she focused on assumptions that weren’t accurate. The interaction gave me the impression that she was more interested in finding faults than genuinely evaluating my fit for the role.
I take interviews seriously and always appreciate direct questions, but this crossed into unprofessional territory. A more respectful and open-minded approach would have made a significant difference. Based on this experience, I’m concerned about how candidates are treated and how this reflects on the company’s culture.
