Bizarre interview. I got an email from a recruiter asking for availability for the next day. I emailed back with my times. Got a link with a specific time for a Teams meeting, but no real communication with recruiter.
Right off the bat, the hiring manager carried a rude and disinterested tone. What was the point of the interview then? Almost as if she didn't like me from the beginning and was forced to do the interview because a higher up told her to do it. She gave vague questions, but expected exact answers to them, which also made no sense because this wasn't a technical interview where there is a specific right/wrong answer. These were generic analyst job interview questions. She would reply saying, "that's not the answer I want". There were zero technical questions to even see if I met the qualifications for the role. The interview was in sharp contrast to any interview I've done for an analyst role.
If she were my boss I would not want to work for someone like that. It was by far the weirdest interview I have ever done with one of the most passive aggressive and difficult to understand hiring managers I've dealt with. She was the worst aspect of the whole interview, not even the questions or the format. It baffles me that someone like that is a manager and in charge of hiring. She was very off putting and was not personable at all. I thank my lucky stars, I ended up getting a job offer from another company that same day. Several hours later I got an email saying I was no longer under consideration for this role at CVS. I had never felt so relieved about a rejection.
I didn't want to bother with a review about the interview since I secured another job and there would be no benefit to this, but wow that was a horrible interview and I just couldn't believe that companies have people like that conducting them.
