Based on my interview experience, the company culture raised serious red flags around respect and professionalism.
Every interview was scheduled late at night for the following day with little notice (why are they working so late?), no scheduling tool provided, and confirmation only hours beforehand, which felt disorganized and inconsiderate of candidates’ time.
During the interviews, when I asked questions about the company and its processes, I was often met with “I don’t know” responses, which further reflected a lack of preparation and transparency. Or, maybe, internally, it's just a mess.
Additionally, the head of the engineering team came across as rude and condescending during the interview, which made the experience uncomfortable and unprofessional.
To top it off, they ghosted me after the interview.
Even if I had received an offer, the experience was poor enough that I would have declined it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The screening call focused on prior experience and culture fit. The technical interview focused on explaining hardware and networking concepts.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BioConnect in Jan 2021
Interview
Three interviews in total. Each went really well. Was surprised to learn that they'd offered the position to another candidate- didn't offer me a real explanation why (I always ask). Assuming someone with more direct business development experience offering the exact same type of biometric security services. Management seemed kindof jaded/ unhappy.

Question 1
Why do you want the business development position?
Completed application through university portal. At the interview the interviewer was friendly and the conversation felt easy, not forced or awkward. Very open to questions. The overall focus was less on the technical aspect and more so on soft skills.
