Had a great conversation with the recruiter, she was wonderful and really sold the position and the executive that needed support. I was very excited to have the opportunity to work with the executive. My first and only formal interview was with two assistants. Not sure if they were playing good cop or bad cop but one of the interviewers was truly horrendous. She kept checking her watch from the minute we began talking. As the interview went on it was very clear she wasn’t paying attention and had not looked at my resume before the interview. When she finally did look at my resume she mentioned mid-interview that she previously worked for a company under the same parent company that I was currently employed by. Excited that we may have common ground, I asked her which one as maybe we’ve crossed paths. She then became defensive and said she didn’t feel like saying which one. I said alright and moved on to another topic but after that moment it was if she harbored animosity towards me because I worked at a company she had a bad experience with. It was actually laughable how rude she was in the interview. The other interviewer was polite and professional. After the interview ended I thought to myself that it was the most bizarre turn of an interview I’d ever experienced. Frankly, I didn’t foresee getting an offer after the interview and I was turned off by the position if it meant dealing with that particular assistant again as she couldn’t seem to discern a person from a company on their resume. I don’t think the company, the recruiter and the other assistant who interviewed me should judged by one of their employees/coworkers so I’ll rate the interview process as neutral.

Phone screen followed by a Zoom interview (during covid). Once you pass the first interview there is a second round with the person you would be reporting to. If you pass that one you are hired.
