EarthOptics interview questions

Clear communication from lead recruiter. Calendar invites to interview stages (and selecting the time/date) were easy to follow. I think the questions I was asked at each stage, by each interviewer were fair and sensible given the stage I was in.

Interview process was pretty standard at first- screening call from HR/P&C/Recruiter for an overview of the position, questions to make sure I'm a good fit for the position, etc. This part was actually quite pleasant and was an incredibly great start to the process and definitely set the tone for a positive experience. The questions gave me opportunities to explain how my previous roles gave me a solid skillset that would fit the PC role well. The recruiter was also very curious about certain aspects of my work history leading to an awesome back and forth exchange. The next step was an assessment which was essentially an IQ test. I had never done one before, assumed I did well because I made it to the second interview, but it definitely rattles you a bit. 15 minute timed consisting of math and pattern questions. The second interview was where the train ran off the track. Although the person I interviewed with was nice, it became very obvious that they were not only new to the management position, but they were also incredibly new to interviewing. The first three questions were repetitive: tell me about yourself, tell me about your work experience, tell me why you feel you would be a good fit for the position, etc. While kindly detailing my applicable work history and skills as quickly and as concisely as possible each time to answer as well as market myself, it became apparent that they were very distracted and disinterested. It was disheartening but if the interviewer is not curious about the candidate and only insists on checking boxes, it is what it is.
