Objective Paradigm interview questions

Not the most professional call I've ever had. I was told way too much about the interviewer's personal life as a "unique way to connect with candidates" but it was a bit off-putting. Not many candidates would prefer to personally get to know interviewers personally when they're not yet an employee of the company. Once they got on with it, it was explained to me that I would complete a research assignment and that upon passing it, I'd move on to the final steps. Beware that the research assignment is extremely lengthly and will take you hours, if not days, depending on how much time you have to dedicate on top of your current job. Despite passing the assignment, I did not move forward because they didn't want to negotiate on salary. This should have been made clear from the beginning, and not before they put candidates through a lengthy assessment that, even when they pass it, still won't move forward due to a reason that was already discussed and clarified in the first phone screen.

A series of phone calls and an on-site interview with the firm's leadership. The calls were mostly behaviorally based at first. As I advanced in the process, I grew to really like the leadership for the team I was referred to. I was then advanced to an on-site final round. I met with the firm's senior leadership, and one of them was a total tool. I learned later on that there was no real role for me at the company, and they were wasting my time - interviewing me IN CASE they got additional clientele, which they didn't. They then attempted to peddle me out as a contract candidate to their clients to at least try to make some money off me- which is something I told them I was explicitly against on the first call. Super unprofessional and dishonest, I told them I was no longer interested and pulled myself out of the process.
