Recondo Technology interview questions

"Recondo Technology" is unprofessional and a major time-waster. I have several years of successful experience in new business development as well as impeccable references. Around the beginning of March I was contacted by a recruiter that sounded very young. She interviewed me by phone and asked if I could speak by phone with the hiring manager at a specified time in three days. I agreed. The next day the recruiter emailed me changing the appointment time (she used expressions like "OMG!" in her email). I had to make an adjustment on my calendar. I subsequently spoke with the hiring manager for 1.5 hours. That's a long time. Everything seemed positive. The recruiter emailed the next day asking if I could come in in a few days for a “2 hour interview”. I agreed. She emailed the next day changing the day and time. I had to adjust my calendar and move another appointment. When I showed up at the office the recruiter gave me a look that hinted of possible age discrimination. I was ushered into a conference room where I met with six other people. The two hour interview turned into three hours. That interview seemed very positive. When I was shown the door – literally – by the recruiter I asked if she would like me to provide references. My request was ignored. I truly felt I was being “shown the door”. I sent a personal email to the hiring manager conveying my astonishment over my unprofessional handling by the recruiter. The hiring manager replied but cc’d the recruiter, and included my email! I was appalled at the indiscretion. The hiring manager said they would be making a decision by the end of the month. I still had not been asked for references despite offering them twice so I suspected I was being blown off. When, several weeks later the end of the month came around I heard nothing from the hiring manager or the recruiter . So I emailed the hiring manager. She replied saying she was sorry I had not been contacted (the previous week) - presumably by the recruiter - but they "hired someone else". I had spent over two hours on the phone and three hours in person at this “company” and they couldn’t be bothered to go through the motions of professionalism by accepting my offer of references, and getting back to me as they said they would. I believe that had I not proactively contacted them (the week after they said they'd notify me) I would have never heard from them. I hate to think what it's like working there.

I initially had a conversation with the human resources manager based on my online application and resume. After a pleasant screening call conversation, she scheduled an initial interview for me with the CEO and VP of Product. After those interviews, I was then contacted for a group interview with two other VPs and a 1-1 with the COO. It was approximately a 2 week process to get through the phone and in person interviews, after which they communicated that an offer would be forthcoming. I received that within two days and accepted within 1 day of the initial offer.
