usually don't let negative experiences shake me, but I believe this needs to be said-not out of bitterness, but with the hope that companies start valuing basic respect and professionalism during the hiring process. I cleared two rounds of interviews with Qualitest quite smoothly, and initially, I felt optimistic. However, things took a sharp and disappointing turn during my interaction with their HR representative. Right before my final discussion, I received a call filled with dismissive and disrespectful way. It wasn't just unnecessary-it was utterly unprofessional and mentally disruptive before an important conversation. The HR round itself felt like a pointless exercise. I'm someone who believes that your manager and teammates define your work culture-not the HR person asking condescending, baseless questions. Their tone was judgmental, their phrasing rude, and their assumptions outright insulting. Respect isn't a privilege-it's a basic right, and the lack of it here was glaring I chose to reject the offer. I don't work with people or organizations that try to undermine someone's dignity in the name of "evaluation." If a person lacks basic courtesy, that's not an HR flaw-that's a character flaw. To any company reading this: if your hiring process makes candidates question your integrity and values, it's not the candidate you need to assess-it's your culture.
