Gutes Gespräch mit den Vorgesetzten, einfache Fragen, insgesamt tolle Details und Benefits und Kollegen. Ein Unternehmen was von Aktiengesellschaft wieder in Privatbesitz zurückging, was etwas ungewöhnlich ist. Der Hauptteil der Mitarbeiter arbeitet aktuell und in Zukunft immer mehr in Ungarn.

Initial screen with recruiter who asked some very standard questions and then arranged an interview with the team lead. The process wasn't entirely smooth as there was some confusion around timezones and technical issues but it worked in the end. During the interview with the team lead the role turned out to be too junior for my level, which the recruiter should have really recognised and pointed out during the initial process. Had I known, I wouldn't have continued the process. As far as I was concerned the interview was over for me from that point, but of course I didn't hang up on the man. I wish I had, however because what he asked me next was something I'd never once heard in my nearly 15 years of experience. The question was literally "You know, I also have children [like you], and I couldn't see my wife working full-time. How are you going to manage working full-time [while having children]?" I'm not even sure if this type of question is even legal - apart from being the height of audacity, of course. Had my husband been interviewing for the same role, would he have been asked the same question? As if that wasn't enough to put me off, it also turned out that the role was basically with the rebranded Citrix organisation, which has never had a great reputation within the Dublin tech scene.
