My experience with the interview process at this company was deeply concerning and should serve as a warning to potential candidates. The initial call with HR was brief but unsettling. The recruiter asked irrelevant questions, such as why I chose to work as a freelancer instead of on a contract. This lack of understanding about the current job market and the necessity of securing income is a red flag about the company’s culture. The following day, I spoke with the hiring manager, who repeatedly emphasized my supposed lack of experience for the role. While he mentioned my education from an elite university, it felt more like a condescending gesture than genuine interest. It was clear he hadn’t even taken the time to read my resume. His questions were dismissive, including one about whether I would be willing to accept "any" team lead position, which only highlighted how desperate they seemed for candidates. As I tried to explain my background and current endeavors, he interrupted me and fixated on what he called my "black hole" of experience, completely disregarding my work as a freelancer over the past year. This kind of toxic behavior from an interviewer is unacceptable and indicative of a larger issue within the company. I strongly advise anyone considering a position here to think twice. A workplace that tolerates such unprofessionalism and lack of respect for candidates is not one worth joining
