I went through a three-stage interview process. Unfortunately, the experience was not as structured or insightful as I had hoped.
The first interview was with HR. The recruiter was quite serious—borderline unfriendly—and asked some questions that didn’t seem particularly relevant to the role. On the positive side, they did share details about the salary and benefits early in the process.
The second interview was with a Sales Director based in the Netherlands. The conversation was more pleasant and open, but it lacked depth in terms of business-related topics. When I asked about the local market (Spain), she wasn’t able to provide much information.
There was a significant delay before scheduling the third interview. I had to follow up with HR myself, and their response was vague. Eventually, they reached out to schedule a final interview, which involved a presentation. I asked HR for guidance on the expected length of the presentation, but they provided no specific direction, saying it was up to me. As a result, I put a lot of effort into preparing my slides. However, just a few hours before the interview, they informed me via email that the presentation should last max 20 minutes, with the remaining time dedicated to Q&A. This last-minute change was frustrating.
The final interview was with four people—the Sales Director from the Netherlands and three additional team members. The questions were mainly behavioral, and I felt that there was a lack of focus on actual business topics. The interviewers didn’t seem particularly knowledgeable about the business itself.
Given these inconsistencies and lack of clear communication, I lost interest in the process and decided not to follow up. A few weeks later, I received a generic email informing me that they had moved forward with another candidate.
Overall, the process felt unstructured and uninformative. While some interactions were positive, the lack of business depth, unclear expectations, and poor communication from HR left much to be desired.
