I recently interviewed for a director role with one of the co-founders of this company. To my surprise his first question was where I was from . I was a little thrown off by the question and I ask him if he meant my nationality since my accent is quite noticeable and he said yes, what country are you from? From this point I couldn’t build rapport with this individual after he gave me a little taste of their management style and the company’s vibe. The recruiter who reached out to me for this opportunity mentioned that they are a young team and very green in this field, however in any field a candidate should be judge by their knowledge, experience, and character, not by their ethnic background.
