Applied online, HR phone screen, prove it. Very unorganized process. Surprising from a talent acquisition area, but it's mostly handled through outsourced HR scheduler and an HR generalist from somewhere in the US. The scheduler sent incorrect information on position, confusing and incorrect dates, seemed to be gap in the communication. Mountain of emails with different dates and lots of back and forth after agreeing to date, then finding out it actually a different date. Regardless, I finally got an actual interview date. However, as the date got closer, I had not been given any instructions about the interview, who I was meeting with or just to confirm. I had to follow-up myself by reaching out to the scheduler who booked the interview. I had not heard back from so I was forced to contact the HR generalist who quickly responded that that managing team had a conflict and needed to cancel but that they would be reaching out to reschedule. I was gracious and understood, but they also down played and just said, you understand how the business goes with clients. The scheduler emailed me telling me I was scheduled for a date that was not mutually agreed on and seemed to think that we spoke "offline" to confirm which was not the case. After another email to the scheduler questioning the date, I found myself troubled, and frustrated to the point where I almost declined to interview for the opportunity and I wish I had went with my gut on this. The HR person assured me differently and so I forged ahead on the new rescheduled date. I decided to push through it, though it left me feeling very uncomfortable. I honestly didn't go into the interview feeling good, and didn't do my best. One interviewer didn't even look at my resume, thought I was a contract employee. Also, seemed disinterested and unimpressed with my experience. The questions asked of me and the answers really doesn't tell the story. It is difficult to interview with someone who seems disinterested and really makes you feel like your wealth of experience isn't enough or good enough. Frankly, no one really is 100% qualified for any position going in because you have to learn about the company and their ways. I was quite insulted to be honest. I just don't think they were really interested from the onset and they should have just moved on after phone screen. That would have been acceptable. Additionally, to my amazement, I found out during the interview that the position had been open for a few years. I asked why and was told it was because of budgetary issues and requisition approval. They had since been relying on temporary/contract help, part time, and help from other areas. So, this was red flag. And, with respect to work life balance, I was also told they were too lenient on past candidates or contract employees so, that would be off the table for the moment or possibly down road. Even if I were extended an offer, I would not have accepted this position. For starters, I would be paying for the mistakes of others and based on all the information I got from the interview, I didn't think it would be a great work environment. I would be taking a huge risk. I'm supposed to be chill with their unorganized process and oversights but they expected me to do cartwheels. I have a great deal to offer that they will never know but that's okay...
