Initial phone screen. Read questions from a list. Very curt and abrupt. Seemed to be searching for ways to catch you lacking knowledge of particular processes and models. Next round with hiring manager even more bizarre. People with PhD’s like talking theory as if they’re still in a classroom with students, not in an organization with real employees. Icy cold interviewers who haven’t learned how to establish rapport and show basic respect to candidates.

The interview process was not good. The person conducting the interview did not seem to know how to conduct an interview. The first phase was a phone interview with the hiring manager. In the nearly 1 hour interview, I only spoke for about 4 minutes. She spoke almost constantly without really asking many questions of me. After our Skype "interview", she asked me to come in for an in-person interview. When I got there she was late due to an issue with the system. She gave me a tour, but most of the time I did not have her attention. She there were several interruptions. Once again I was not asked any questions that gauged my ability to do the job. She seemed to complain about the work and her experience more than anything. I am not sure if she was venting or trying to scare me off intentionally.
