Interview questions were sparse and vague. The interviewers did not seem personable and did not make me feel like I was in a human to human conversation. The interview felt quite unnatural and was not as enlightening as I had hoped. The interviewers weren't able to answer a few of my questions and didn't really inspire me about the job.

I applied online. I interviewed at Wood (Houston, TX)
Interview
Friendly process. I was interviewed by five managers and was invited for lunch, too. This was a pre-COVID interview and it took all day long. They asked me to share my experiences and to detail my expectations. Never talked about salary or compensations until the offer letter was sent.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Wood (London, England) in Mar 2021
Interview
I applied online for the role in Jan 2021 and I was contacted in March for an interview.
The interview took place on Microsoft Teams and was mainly focused on my experiences.
Unfortunately, the hiring managers were clueless about the role and its responsibilities they were interviewing for.
After the interview, a couple of weeks went by and I still hadn't heard anything regarding the outcome. I decided to email the recruiter and requested an update, a week went by and I did not get a response to my email, I emailed again asking for an update. After two emails chasing for an update, the recruiter finally emailed me and said that she had left a voicemail, this was a blatant lie as I never received a call or voicemail from her. I kindly requested her to give me a call and she agreed, later in the day I got a call from her and I was informed they wanted to make me an offer.
The offer was £6k below my current salary and I just could not understand what had gone wrong. I made it clear on the application and in the interview my salary requirements.
To receive such an offer was an insult and a waste of my time. I informed the recruiter that the offer was unacceptable and she said she would check with the team and let me know. Weeks have gone by and I still have not had a response.
My experience with Wood has been frustrating and very disappointing.
