The operations and strategy manager's unprofessional demeanor during a recent Zoom meeting set a negative tone from the outset. Arriving inappropriately dressed as if she just rolled out of the bed and failing to maintain eye contact, she created an uncomfortable atmosphere.
The interview itself felt more like an interrogation, with a focus on only two technical questions, often straying from relevant topics and attempting to contradict the candidate's responses. This lack of professionalism was compounded by the absence of behavioral questions, which are typically crucial for assessing a candidate's fit. The abrupt ending of the call further indicated a toxic environment.
Given this experience, it is advisable to reconsider pursuing opportunities with OpenTable, particularly if working with this manager.
