FurnitureDealer.Net interview questions

This interview was conducted by the company owner, who appears to be a well-intentioned individual genuinely concerned about the welfare of his company. Unfortunately, that's where the positive aspects of the interview end. The interviewer explicitly expressed a lack of interest in technical knowledge, stating a preference for a certain "type of person." He acknowledged negative online reviews and suggested that many people wouldn't want to work for the company, raising concerns. Surprisingly, the interviewer did not inquire about my resume or experience. Instead, the focus was solely on repeated questions about morals, values, and ethics, almost hinting at a veiled inquiry into religious beliefs. When seeking information about the onboarding and training process, the response was dismissive, with the interviewer saying "I don't know, I am not in charge of that". Queries regarding the technologies used by the company yielded vague responses filled with buzzwords. Whether you are seeking genuine job opportunities or just practicing interview skills, this experience is not reflective of typical tech behavioral interviews. It raised many questions about the company's hiring practices, making it a questionable investment of time.

This was easily the most unprofessional interview I’ve ever had. The interviewer, Andy, who told me he was the founder, spent about twice as much time talking as me and when I would try to say something, he would talk over me. He started off the conversation by telling me he founded the company because he wanted to create a workplace that people would love and would do for free because they love doing it so much. No joke. When I briefly mentioned how I admired how many tech companies such as Google and Facebook offered so many nice benefits to their employees, he went on a tirade about those companies aren’t good examples because they let go of thousands of employees. He went on for probably like ten minutes, and I’m not exaggerating. He told me benefits don’t make employees happy, which seems like a pretty good excuse to not offer competitive pay and good benefits. Imagine you’re excited and probably a bit nervous for an interview, and your interviewer asks you to “Say anything about business, good or bad, to start a conversation”, and you mention the fact that you think good benefits make for happy employees and happy employees love their jobs, and he spends ten minutes telling you about why that answer is bad. My advice to anyone interviewing for this job is don’t. You’d have to be pretty desperate to work at a place this unprofessional.
