Bose User Experience Researcher interview questions

Straightforward hiring process but awful experience during the onsite interview. It started off with a portfolio presentation to a team of about 10 people. During the presentation, I could hear giggling and whispering among team members and I was constantly interrupted with irrelevant questions that did not concern the topic of the presentation (even though the recruiter had informed me that a separate Q&A session would take place after the presentation). Some team members gave feedback that wasn’t helpful at all and even said they are “not a fan” of graduates from certain schools (one that I was part of). Eventually, they said they’re looking for more experienced candidates with a PhD. That was very surprising because the job description clearly stated that candidates with 2+ years (my experience level) and a masters (a degree I hold) are ideal for this position. I don’t think the team knows what they want and it was an absolute waste of my time.

1 - phone screen 2 - phone screen 3 - group phone interview 4 - phone interview with hiring manager 5 - multi round interview day with whole team presentation this process took a month and a half and was overly drawn out. In the end I didn't get the job and after all this they didn't even have the decency to send me a rejection. I had to email them asking about the status of my application and it was only then I was notified I was no longer being considered.
