United StatesPosted Jan 2015 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied online for an Account Executive role and went through a fast screening that still left me with a negative impression, with the whole interaction unfolding over about a couple of weeks.

Application + initial questionnaire — I was prompted to take a test and fill out a retail auto sales/customer service knowledge questionnaire.
In-person step with little engagement — I sat down for an interview where the manager didn’t actually ask me questions and appeared too busy.
Lack of follow-up — I was told I’d hear back in a few days, but I didn’t get clear updates.
Follow-up visit — When I came back to check in, I was greeted rudely and told the process would end on a specific date, with no further follow-through.
Drug test/background check — These steps
