I had a disappointing interview experience that left me questioning the company’s internal coordination. During the first interview, the interviewer was 15 minutes late, leaving very little time for me to ask meaningful questions. The excuse was that they couldn’t see I was in the virtual waiting room and someone else had to manually link the meeting.
For the second round, the interview time was changed without checking my availability, and I simply received an updated calendar invite. I was also told this interview would be with the Director of a department, which is how I prepared. However, when the interview started, a different person unexpectedly joined without introduction, creating an awkward and confusing start. I wasn’t clear on who this person was or their role in the process and the director never joined the call and no explanation was given.
Afterward, I requested their contact information to send a thank-you note. Despite following up after a week of no response, I was only provided a LinkedIn profile instead of direct contact details.
Overall, the experience felt disorganized and left me concerned about how internal communication and processes are managed.
