I applied 2mo and got a recent email asking for me to instead apply for the lower Manager of IT position. Read both JDs. There is no real difference in the roles and I told them, they will eventually figure that out. I know my skills. I am IT, not an engineer.
So based on my research of CDPR being in Red 2.0 for their rebrand, I attempted to teach the hiring team how to do this interview for a US market. That went south. They attempted to make ME seem unqualified. I tried!
They're not ready to hire for this role in my actual expert opinion. As someone that has been in IT leadership in the US for over a decade, it felt like my time was completely wasted, asking me Network Engineer and Systems Admin questions....for an IT role. Maybe Red 5.0 will be better, as the communication and interview I received was lacking and not a great way to break into the US market. Seems like the reviews are right: management needs to do better.
