Once I applied I got an interview right away. I came in the next day (I travelled over 100km to the office to interview, keep this in mind) at 9am. I interviewed with “HR” which took all of 10 minutes. I drove over 2 hours for what could have been a phone call. After that, I proceeded to the 2nd interview the following week. Again, another 2hr commute. This interview was with a random person who I never actually ended up working with in the end. Maybe took 25mins. My 3rd interview (another 2 hr commute) was with who would be my manager and was actually very constructive, and well lead. I thought for sure, this has to be it!
Nope.
The next week, I got a call back for. Another. Interview. I meet with one of the higher ups, nice guy but he spent an hour talking and I didn’t get a word in. Not much of an interview. I thought for sure NOW this has to be done! It ended well!
Not even a week later, I get another. Interview. 5 INTERVIEWS. I thought “must be the CEO.” Nope. Same guy as interview #3. And he asked the exact same questions he did in the 3rd interview, which a) he could have kept notes or b) just give me a phone call. This company does not believe in any phone communication essentially, but if you don’t pick up the phone as soon as they call you get questioned as to if you’re actually serious about them.
