Worst interview experience ever !!
The JD involved Pre sales, and Tech design. Went to the interview and the guy started the conversation that usually his interviews are 20 mins. The questions asked in the interview process - OLTP, OLAP, How do you learn, how to distinguish security in prod vs non prod env. Very basic. I feel it’s a stage show and managers select their own reference.
Hiring should be impartial, conveyed the same to HR, and they confirmed Tech managers usually decide based on the previous work. I mean that’s why the CV is there for.
