The individual I organized with was terribly disorganized throughout the entire process and despite not receiving an offer, I was left with little inspiration and confidence about Scotia.
I was contacted by the hiring manager directly and despite applying for one position, was told that I would only be considered for another. The timing of the interview was also very unaccommodating. I was contacted on a Tuesday in the afternoon and was asked when I was free to come in. Unfortunately I was in the midst of writing exams, so I could only support a very narrow range of times to come in and interview. I was very clear in my intentions to be as flexible with their time as possible, and I certainly of the opinion that it is my responsibility to work with their schedule. I received a delayed response with a scheduled time outside of when I said that I would be available. I figured it was best to go along with it, and missed a class reluctantly.
When I arrived to the interview, I was told "to wait by the elevators", since there was no reception on the interviewing floor. This I would have been okay with however, the individual I was interviewing with was late. Not only was he late, but he was late with another interview candidate, who eventually came up together in an elevator. I was quickly (and awkwardly) introduced to the other candidate before the interview rushed off to find me a room.
The interview was fine by all means. Very little technical emphasis, and more behavioural. The interviewer was very nice but the entire process was chaotic. I was asked at the end of the interview how I would rate my excitement. I took the opportunity to thank the individual for having me come in.
A week or so later I attempt to follow-up with the individual and I receive no response. It is clear that they were not impressed with me as a candidate and I can accept that and move on. What I find to be strange though is how the entire process feels unstructured and unprofessional. This is by no means characteristic of Scotia, and take this with a grain of salt. I however, am left with little to be inspired by.
Good luck.
