Interview
Asked to fill out a questionnaire before the initial phone interview.
Did a phone interview and then was asked to come in for an in person interview. Was then asked to perform a skill assessment test, then a personality test.
Was called back for a second interview and got positive notes.
After all of this work and 3 weeks of waiting, I was sent an automated email of no selection. Had to call in due to the personal nature of the interview and the misleading attitude of interviewer acting like I was getting the job after all these tests.
The interviewer made it clear that too many women had been hired in their department so they had to go with a man this time.
Waste of time and disrespectful.
