The interview was postponed to half hour later because the last one delayed. The interviewer was slightly inpatient when I tried to let him explain further about the question but far away from rude.
The interview process was structured, professional, and insightful. Though slightly intense and challenging, it was fair and informative. Each stage felt purposeful, leaving me feeling evaluated, respected, and more confident.
My interview experience was tedious, obtuse and protracted. They requested interviews at unsociable hours for interviews with staff in other timezones and assigned a HR contact from a totally different timezone, so when the interviewer did not show up I was unable to contact the HR rep.
