This was for a contract role. The initial round with the hiring manager was great and it was the normal type of conversation where I described my background and walked through my portfolio. Next, the behavioral interview was two people interviewing me asking very specific questions that it was hard to find an example to off the top of my head. I felt flustered and thrown off, and ultimately didn’t do well. I felt like the questions were extremely random and hard to prepare for, and hard to think of examples for on the spot.

Horrible interviewing process where the hiring manager didn't even bother turning on her camera and told me she was so tired from a day of doing interviews and just wanted it to be done.

The portfolio is important to be selected. HR is great to provide all the instructions for each step. Make sure to read them carefully. Feel free to ask questions. They are responsive. Every stakeholder opinion matters, they take extensive notes. Ask for feedback. The feedback they gave me after was very valuable.

Typical behavioural questions, case study of your best work...
A screening call with the recruiter from the UK was not a good experience. The recruiter was not prepared at all. When she was telling me about the role, I could tell she was just reading it from a script, and it was her first time ever reading it. I barely understood what she was saying because it was a very fast monotone reading, and she didn't put any punctuation or enthusiasm. Also, very bad phone quality from her end. Like come on, your job is to interview people. At least get a better mic. There was also a moment when I wanted to share my screen for a better presentation but she said no so I had to walk her through on a not-so-ideal presentation platform. After the presentation, she told me to prepare a more detailed presentation when I already had one ready for it during the call. Definitely not a good experience.
