I am writing to express my concern about the unprofessional behavior exhibited by the Professional Services Engineer hiring manager during the interview process. The manager displayed several inappropriate actions, including:
* Excessive bragging: The manager repeatedly boasted about their master's degree, even going so far as to turn off the recorded interview to continue this behavior.
* Negative comments: The manager made unnecessary and negative remarks about the applicant, creating a hostile interview environment.
* Inappropriate questioning: The manager persisted in asking for the applicant's current salary despite the applicant's clear refusal to disclose this information.
This behavior is not only unprofessional but also disrespectful to the candidate and creates a negative impression of the company. I believe that this matter should be investigated further to ensure that such conduct does not recur.
