      Contract Specialist Interview

      22 Feb 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Block (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      I had a phone interview with the hiring manager after my initial phone interview with one of their recruiters. This was by far the worst phone interview experience of my life. The hiring manager was late (no big deal), he was abrupt, he didn't let me finish answering his questions, and he was quite rude. What really striked me was his comment, and I quote: "I am sitting here scratching my head as to why you applied for this position", in the sense that I was overqualified and I didn't understand why I applied. I ended up not being called in for an in-person interview which probably is a blessing, since I don't know how anyone could work on a day-to-day basis which such a manager.

      Question 1

      How would I reconcile drafting certain sections of an NDA when the business would profit but it might jeopardize the company from a risk perspective?

      Thank you for sharing your interview experience. The tone and language that your interviewer had over the phone is uncharacteristic of our hiring managers and we apologize for the negative experience. We hope you will consider us again in the future!
