New North interview questions

My interview experience was an incredibly misleading, disappointing waste of time. The initial interview was a 'Zoom' call with the President, Tobin, where I was asked basic questions about myself and experience. Then, I was invited to visit their office for an extensive, 2 hour second interview where I meet with Tobin and different team members to answer questions, and had the opportunity to sit-in on their daily 'Stand Up' meeting. What was not disclosed anywhere in the job description was the Christian-Faith based atmosphere and practices that are promoted within the company. There is a prayer that takes place after each daily meeting, that I was told I didn’t have to participate in, but as a non-Christian, was a tad bit offensive and a bit old-world if I do say so myself. Regardless, I was invited back for a 3rd interview where I was to present a proposal to the whole team based off a 1-minute video of a mock-client phone call that was sent to me. Immediately following my presentation and after some negotiation on salary, I was made a verbal offer from Tobin, we shook hands, and I left the office feeling excited to start this new adventure. I was told I would receive a formal offer via email later that day. After not hearing back after 2 days, I sent a follow up email to be sure that nothing else was needed from me in order to move forward. I received a vague response from Tobin, stating that he was 'considering our conversation and would follow up on Monday.' Monday came and went, and I finally received a response at 8:30pm stating the following: "I have to admit, I was not prepared for an increase in your asking price. Although I appreciate your negotiation skills, it feels a bit misleading and our interview process was predicated on that information. I'm afraid at that level, we have other options with more specific experience that we need to explore." I was disappointingly mislead, which caused me to miss out on other opportunities, as well as missing time with my current employer which led to nowhere. To make a verbal offer that you back out on almost a week later is one of the most unprofessional things I have ever experienced.

I had an initial phone interview and followed up with the hiring manager twice whose email contact I had but I never heard anything back from the company. It makes me glad that I didn't hear back because they didn't have the courtesy to return an email or a phone call.
