A one-of-a-kind interview, where the person was more interested in pointing out the candidate's lack of skills while also wanting to hire said interview, simply because he thought the candidate had too high of an expected salary.
Yes, he wanted me to join, but wanted me to take a pay cut on my current company. The sheer audacity of the interviewer to even suggest such a stupid thing astounds me. When I disagreed, he suddenly started pointing out a lack of skills by using technical jargons - which are actually commonplace - to show his superiority, when in fact it only reflected a lack of his own incompetency.
Further, after the denigrating and condescending conversation, when he realized his routine had failed, he offered me the job, but only if I was willing to take it on the same payscale I was currently at - one for the Absurdity Diaries, this one.
For an organization which prides itself on inspiring and motivating, they were surprisingly hypocritical, with more focus on appearances instead of actually doing the work. The management is definitely out of its depth and it needs all the help it can get. There's a lot wrong here, and it feels like a bullet dodged.
A company's employees are its main stakeholders, instrumental in presenting a good image of the brand. And here, they are failing in every department.
