The interview process was bizarre as a whole.
Let me start from the beginning.
To start - I was called unprovoked by a recruiter who saw my resume on a site. She interviewed me briefly and was very personable. She then asked if I would be interested in moving forward in the process. I was, despite never hearing of the company in question, so I said yes.
They scheduled an interview for later that week. When I arrived to the facility, I was greeted by a really nice receptionist. She led me into a very small conference room and started playing a very bizarre video. The video was what can only be described as a "propaganda-esque" video that was describing the perks of working for the company. After sitting through the very bizarre cult-like video, I was then greeted by a Marketing executive. The choice to have this marketing executive interview me was another strange situation. I would in no way ever be working for this person nor working closely with them. I probably wouldn't even see them at any point in the office. Though she was cool, interesting, and made the interview comfortable, but I couldn't help but think her being involved in the interview process was entirely out of place and borderline inappropriate. I am also not sure of her relation to one of the lead executives. It didn't help that she spewed off facts and a bio about the company that was so bizarre and well-rehearsed that I actually felt extremely uncomfortable.
I was then told mid-interview that I was going to be asked to come back and meet the person I would be working for. After getting home from the interview, I sent a thank you email to the interviewer only to be met with an email and phone call from the recruiter asking me about how it went. When I told her they wanted to see me again, she seemed almost euphoric. I didn't think much of that situation or her reaction as I was juggling so many interviews at so many different companies. I also figured that the interviewer and recruiter might not have talked about what was said or didn't have a quick chance to catch up before I wrote my email thanking her and expressing interest in moving forward (as I did with every job I interviewed for at that time). Instead of talking with my interviewer and confirming they did in fact want to bring me in, the recruiter insisted on scheduling my follow up interview. What if they didn't want to see me again? What if the interviewer changed her mind? Neither of these were of the recruiter's concern, apparently.
They scheduled for me to come back in. In the waiting room, I met 5 different people who were starting jobs in different departments. These people were young, ambitious and highly educated. When they told me their job roles, my jaw fell to the floor. One was a chemical engineer who was going to be an appointment scheduler... what? They also told me that during the two week "orientation" process, they were expected to do every job in the company including... get ready for it.... door to door sales.
I didn't have time to react as I was then taken back into the room I originally interviewed in so I could meet with the person I was going to be working for. Upon first glance, he seemed very young and green in his role. He also told me the exact amount of people they planned on bringing in throughout the next year. The amount he quoted sounded bizarre to me (bizarre is the buzz word of this review, clearly) so I questioned it. It was very clear by my curiosity and questions that he was NOT happy with me. I was pretty confident that he didn't like me as I left.
Basically, I am 99% sure that this is a pyramid scheme. The behavior of the "managers," "recruiters," and the expectation that someone being hired, no matter the role, would be okay and happy about experiencing "every job" in the company is deluded and pyramid-scheme like in my opinion. It also didn't help that the automated message I received from the "recruiter" as a follow up was two weeks after the interview and very out of place.
Stay away.
