First round was a recruiter screening. I set up the meeting and she said she would call me directly, but she was nearly 15 minutes late for a 30 minute call. Other than that, it was fine and easy enough, but frustrating because my time was cut short.
She said she wanted to move me onto the hiring manager and asked for my availability then said she would send over a confirmation with the exact date and time of that interview as well as some more info when the hiring manager was able to confirm.
A couple days later, she sent the invite for the hiring manager interview, but not the other info that was promised. I replied within an hour confirming that the time worked for me and asked her for the other info and what I should have prepared for the interview and what the structure would be. She didn't reply so two days later, I followed up. Still no reply, so I was forced to go into the hiring manager interview call blind and unprepared.
Minutes before the interview was supposed to start, I received another email from the recruiter - not answering my questions, but saying I had to sign an NDA before it started. The hiring manager was 7 minutes late to our Zoom meeting and came in heated, saying that he had come from a meeting that he was very frustrated over and that he needed a moment to collect himself before we began. There was silence for a minute while he looked pissed off and then said "okay, I'm sorry what position are we talking about here?" and I had to tell him what he was even interviewing me for. He then asked for another minute so he could read my resume before we started. All very strange and I knew from the start that it was a waste of time.
Everything he asked me was about Data Engineering - not BI or anything covered in the job description. I was expected to know about data ingestion and creating pipelines from source files and other engineering tasks that were unrelated to business intelligence. He never even mentioned the "most important" skills and qualities that the recruited talked about which were SQL, Tabluea, dashboarding, visualization, analysis, etc.
Overall just a complete waste of time when he was clearly never interested in me or, based on his questions, even looking to fill a BI role to begin with.
