United StatesPosted May 2018 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

Even before I got far, the vibe of the interview made me feel awful.

I sensed the interviewers came across as arrogant and condescending, and the questions were treated like there was one “textbook” way to answer them. I felt like I was expected to produce perfect, rehearsed responses rather than explain my reasoning.

By the time I finished, I felt like I’d wasted my time. I didn’t receive an offer, and honestly the biggest lasting impression wasn’t the content—it was the way the process felt emotionally draining and judgmental.
