I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at IBI Group in Mar 2022
Interview
Where to even begin. My first interview was an HR screening -- showed up to do a fairly basic interview and the person who was interviewing me would not turn their camera on. A bit rude, but I did not think much of it at the time. They directly asked what my salary requirement was and refused to give any sort of salary range when I told them that I was flexible and willing to work within the budget dedicated for the position. At the end, I was told I would hear back in a few days. I was completely ghosted for about 3 weeks before I was asked to do another screening by a different HR representative. Like last time, they kept their camera off while interviewing me. I mentioned my last experience interviewing for the company just weeks before and they told me they would follow up with that person, which to my surprise they actually did! Finally, the original recruiter who set up the first interview emailed me back to say that the position had closed but they had a similar position that I could interview for with the team. I agreed and confirmed a time with the recruiter, however, it wasn't until just an hour before the interview that I FINALLY received the invite which mentioned to have a work portfolio prepared to discuss during the interview. When I brought up the fact that this was never mentioned until just then (again an HOUR before the interview) and that I wanted to reschedule the interview to properly prepare for the interview, I received a really rude email in return. This company is extremely unprofessional and clearly does not value your time or effort. I withdrew from being considered for the position after that.
