The recruiter, arriving late, immediately launched into the interview without so much as a greeting, blurting out, "Hi, okay, tell me how you're relevant for this position." It was evident from the start that his intention wasn't to genuinely evaluate my fit for the role but rather to hastily check boxes on an Excel sheet and bid me farewell. Throughout the interview, his demeanor was laced with passive-aggressive remarks, such as dismissing my answers with comments like, "That was exhausting, thanks." He flat-out refused to entertain any of my inquiries and abruptly disconnected from the call at one point. This experience not only soured my perception of the hiring process but also left a negative impression of the company itself. As a result, I won't be participating in any future hiring processes with them.

The interview process was structured, unbiased, transparent, and respectful—assessing skills, cultural fit, and potential through clear communication, fair evaluation, timely feedback, and a positive candidate experience. So, good overall. So good overall.
