HTLF interview questions

Interview with the HR rep was pleasant, reviewed my skills and experience and talked about the role and the company. The next interview with the hiring manager raised a lot of subtle red flags - last person in this role left after six months, suddenly, and didn't not leave any usable work. Everyone in the department is between 20-40 years old. (Me being over 40, I assumed this wasn't going to work). I was hoping for a discussion of my skills and experience, but it was more him asking random marketing definitions. I don't have time to memorize fluffy marketing terms, I'm busy getting work done. Maybe I don't know the specific names in Google to compare it to what I know in Adobe. After the interview, he then sent me an email saying everything I talked about was wrong. I really think he didn't listen to me at all and was very jaded about the last candidate. Sometimes I think rejections are a blessing, and I hope the next candidate is in their 20s and lasts longer than six months.

I applied for the position online and I had a total of 3 interviews. The first interview was with the recruiter, the second interview was with the hiring manager, and the 3rd interview was with the division director. After my 3rd interview, the company stopped communicating with me and no longer provided an update. I did not receive an offer and my only complaint is that HTLF should have sent out a rejection email. My advice to the hiring team: Communicate more effectively with candidates and provide more up-to-date information about the hiring process, especially if they made it past the initial conversation with the recruiter
