The recruiting process lacked basic coordination and professionalism from start to finish. Third-party recruiters initiated contact and expressed interest in my background for a very senior position, but scheduling was disorganized, with repeated delays over a month. When I finally met with a senior executive at the recruiting firm, the tone shifted. Despite the outreach being recruiter-initiated, the interview was framed as if I were seeking a favor rather than exploring mutual fit. The conversation felt adversarial, with “gotcha” questions unrelated to the role and repeated challenges to my stated experience that came across as distrustful rather than clarifying. After the interview, there was no follow-up or closure. Overall, the experience raised serious concerns about the company’s recruiting culture, internal alignment and respect for candidates’ time. It is not a process I would consider engaging with again.
