A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn and wanted to set up an informational interview via phone call. We set up a mutually agreed upon time and when the meeting came, no one called. I promptly emailed the recruiter confirming our time, and they responded that they had recently migrated to a new calendar system and my interview got lost on her old calendar. I get it, it happens, no biggie. The informational interview went fine, very standard. Fast forward to the second case study interview. It was set up by a different coordinator in HR and I gave my availability for four different dates with varying times. I received a calendar meeting from the coordinator to do a video Google Hangouts interview. I was to perform calculations live on Hangouts, but not permitted to use a calculator. There was no prompt to prepare, only general guidelines for the case study. My video interview time rolled around and I waited for 15+ minutes on the Google Hangout. Not one person participated or joined my meeting. I immediately emailed the recruiter and the meeting organizer and I received an automatic out-of-office reply. The coordinator wasn't even working that day. The recruiter replied to me and apologized and said that it was not a company standard, and they had a miscommunication with scheduling. I can understand one missed interview, but two is unacceptable. Especially when Wayfair initiated the process. I didn't know ghosting interviews was a thing until Wayfair!

First interview with HR was very straight forward. Asked general questions about overall experience. They seek me out and thought my experience was a good fit for the role, knowing the positions I’ve held at a top competitor. Second interview with the Director….this is where it was very strange. All they asked about was my current role and nothing about my overall experience. Even when I expanded into my overall experience the hiring manager didn’t even want to hear it. They had no idea of what my other roles were or my experience. I don’t even think they even looked at my resume… When I asked about the culture: the response well I’m not the person that should be answering that question.
