Interview
Phone interview-
This is the second time I applied for this position. Last time I received an immediate email that it had been filled. Shortly after that, it came off their website. During the phone interview when I was given a chance to ask questions, HR Manager didn't like me asking why the position was open again. [It had been listed 6 months prior.] The HR Manager became very tongue tied and stammered and couldn't complete a sentence. I was on "speaker" phone and it suspect someone wrote down something for her to say because she finally "recovered" and could talk again.
HR Manager didn't know what kind of insurance they offered; PPO, FSA, HSA. Not sure, but I suspect she doesn't know much about different insurance plans.
Questions were very easy; no "meat" to them.
HR Manager kept telling me I wouldn't be happy with the pay….even though it was 15 thousand more than I am currently earning. HR Manager knew what I am currently earning. Was told I would hear back in 1-2 weeks….never have heard anything. Position is no longer open.
Variety of different interviewers in sequence - not a lot of synchronisation between interviewers. Interesting company but salary offered was below expectations I stated at the start of the process.
I was very excited about this potential opportunity and was invited for a first round interview and then was ghosted. I sent a few follow up emails over a course of a few weeks and was never given any update. It’s as if the recruiter accidentally sent me an invite and then didn’t provide any update whatsoever and just ghosted me. If an Recruiter who’s the first point of contact is rude to prospective candidates I can only imagine what the true culture is like. Horrible experience!

Interview
Contacted by an internal recruiter who was very unresponsive. The hiring manager seemed preoccupied during our video interview and even appeared to be answering emails. Made it very apparent that there is some serious internal chaos happening, dodged a bullet by not joining this company!
