Collette interview questions

Right off the bat, the interviewer didn't bother to schedule a phone interview. She just called me out of the blue. When I returned her call she didn't even ask if it was a good time for an interview. She just jumped right into it! Throughout the process she was incredibly rude. She actively insulted my previous experience while clearly knowing nothing herself about the realities of the software design and development industry. I listed that I had done previous work with UX and UI concepts, and without any prior statement on my part she assumed I thought they were the same thing. I felt as if I was being intentionally sabotaged throughout the interview. She then claimed the role required managerial work and asked if I had directly managed anyone before, but the job description did not note that the role was managerial. The description also noted nothing about live user research, but she emphasized prior experience in this was critical for the role as well. Assuming the interviewer was being truthful, the job description was clearly written poorly, or perhaps hijacked from some lower role by some lazy shmoe in HR. Considering I do have multifaceted knowledge and experience in the field, the fact that the interviewer only cared about very specific experience in my background, rather than the breadth of my potential, leads me to believe that this isn't a company that cares about giving employees opportunities for personal and professional growth. Given that impression and the way I was treated in the interview, I would not consider further interviewing with this company in the future.

HR reached out right away in response to my application to schedule interview. The interview was very positive with the manager stating she would reach out the following week if not sooner with next steps. However, not only was there no follow-up as promised, but proactive inquiry was ignored without even the courtesy of advising I would not be moving forward.
