I was head hunted by HR Meraki a few years ago. This HR lady, full of herself, believed she was entitled to ask any questions during this introductory chat. Certainly not. The call ended quickly.
One year later, I applied online for a role I was interested in. I was told that the role was filled in, nevertheless, I was still invited for a phone interview and a f2f with the hiring Manager (no HR presence here). I attended the job interview in the game room - the fish bowl. The hiring Manager was certainly very interested in having lunch on time as he was signalling several times to a friend through the crystal. No questions at all about achievements. 5 or 6 typical interview questions were asked and he wasn't even listening to the answers.
However, he was definitively interested in knowing if I was a good fit:
Do you know how to play soccer and skateboarding in the office?
Do you like London or not ?
Are you enough rock 'n' roll ? There are many interpretations possible derived from the term "rock and roll", and for sure, none of these are work related.
For instance, rock 'n' roll originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s..so back in 21st century, I was indeed not "rock 'n' roll".
I also noticed the huge disproportion between number of male and female employees: 2 female employees in a crowded male environment. Average age in the office: all in their 20 - thirties. Overall, the whole hiring process was not right at all.
