Teaching Lab interview questions

Lengthy application questions. Asked same things in interview (did not appear to have read responses/reviewed resume). Short zoom call for initial round with detail of next steps to follow, but communication stalled. Interviewee had to reach out after follow-up window. Pretty straight forward, organization seems to be doing great work.

I clearly should have come to Glassdoor before scheduling my interview! I applied to a manager position in early December 2023. In mid-February 2024, I received an invite to interview. I scheduled my interview through the online Calendly app. On the morning of my interview - about 45 minutes before it was scheduled - I received a rejection email, stating they appreciated my interest but were extending an offer to another candidate. What? Why schedule the interview with me if someone else was in the final stages? The whole thing was a little weird. I was willing to write off some of the red/orange flags but now I think I may have dodged something worse.
