contacted by an HR representative after they saw my Naukri profile, and I was invited for a remote interview. Unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing, and I feel it’s important to share this so that the management is aware and can take appropriate steps if needed.
The interviewer was in a very bad mood From the beginning . As soon as the interview started, they directly jumped into technical question without introduction, which I understand that it can be normal. However, as I was answering, they repeatedly interrupted me saying my name 2-3 times and telling me to keep my answers short, in a very rude and dismissive tone.
I understand the need for concise answers, but the way it was communicated lacked basic courtesy and professionalism. It felt like the interviewer had no interest in having a respectful conversation. To make things worse, their voice was extremely low as if they weren’t using a proper microphone or headset. When I politely informed them that I was having trouble hearing, they got visibly annoyed.
The entire experience felt like a headache. As candidates, we invest a lot of time and energy preparing for these interviews because they are life-changing opportunities for many of us. Unfortunately, interviews like this can completely ruin that opportunity due to the unprofessional behavior of the interviewer.
I hope the management reviews this feedback seriously and considers assigning such responsibilities to professionals who are calm, respectful, and understand the importance of creating a positive experience for candidates.
The result of the interview is still pending, but to be honest, after this experience, I no longer care about the outcome. I’m sharing this so that future candidates get some questions and don’t go through the same thing and so that the management and other interviewers are aware of how these interactions reflect on the organization.
