I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tilly in Aug 2024
Interview
The process started normal. I had an interview with an HR person and one with a head of operations. Communications were slow, but nothing too negative about the process thus far. Then for a third interview I was asked to speak with a head of product (or similar) from the US. It was the most entitled person I have ever spoken with. Had not read anything about me. Did not let me finish one sentence. And cut the call at about 20min while I was still trying to explain my prof. experience. Before anyone asks, I was on my best behavior, very cordial and professional. She just did not give me any chance to speak.
After all this (15 emails and 3 interviews), I never got word of my rejection.
That was a huge waste of time and I thought they would have the decency to just send even an automated email to respond. Very disrespectful.
The interview was 3 rounds. For the first round, I met with the head of the team and then my would-be manager. Third round was a case study where I analyzed data and made a presentation - which was submitted to the team.
