Initial interview with HR: - Initially, they did not inform the applicant that the role will use proprietary language when deployed in the project. Technical interview with 3 hiring managers: The conversation is somehow smooth, however: - All of them did not open their camera during the interview. Remember that an interview is a 2-way street. Interviewers, it should be a common courtesy to open your camera as well when interviewing applicants. - The hiring manager with the highest position displayed a negative bias towards individuals who have been laid off from previous jobs. He even suggested rephrasing the term "laid off" to align with his beliefs. Conversely, the other two hiring managers disagreed, implying that getting laid off is not the employee's fault. (Kudos to those two hiring managers!) - The hiring manager with the highest position thinks like he knows everything about the applicant's past job. It's inappropriate and disrespectful for a hiring manager to impose their assumptions about an applicant's past job based solely on shared project experience. - The hiring managers assumed that the applicant is difficult to work with simply because they were asked about negative scenarios. They are all comfortable to talk with, but I guess I dodged a bullet by not getting hired by the company, given that one of their managers with the highest position displayed an act of egotism. I hope that those two hiring managers will impose a healthier environment on those who are within their project, or to their future ones. Please don't be like that one manager.
