I applied for the position online back in November 2013 and received a request for initial interview with a recruiter on Skype about a month later. Standard questions were asked regarding availability, experience - then a face-to-face interview was arranged at their office in Holborn, London.
By that point, the recruiters were nice and friendly, until I went in to met the Head of Production. I had arrived about 15 minutes earlier but nobody showed up to pick me up at reception despite that my arrival was informed to the staff. It was around lunch time so I am not sure if this could be the cause? The girl at the reception were nice enough to chase and investigate why no one is picking me up. About 45 minutes later a pretty sketchy guy showed up. He was very unapologetic about the situation and just said how he got delayed due to some "things", and he took me around the office trying to locate an empty meeting room. Whether he did not book a meeting room or booking had run out due to us being late is unknown.
Through out the interview, conversation was no issue between me and the interviewer. Questions regarding my experience was lightly touched. I understand this may be an initial face-to-face interview, but I couldn't shake off the feeling the guy doesn't really care about the interview. The questions were unstructured and sounded like he didn't know what he should be asking. Also it kind of feels like he doesn't care what my experiences are - he just went on about what they are looking for and what the responsibility this role requires. During the interview we were cut off a few times because the interviewer was looking at his phones.
By the end of interview, I feel nothing valuable has really came out of it for both parties and I can sense that the interviewer felt pretty relieved that the interview is finally over. He couldn't wait to send me off and we just part our ways.
Despite that they say they'd get back to me whether they want to progress further or to provide feedback, they were never in touch again - its been about 2 months now.
To add on top of this, I was approached by another recruiter from Microsoft wanted to have a conversation with me on Skype. But that never follow through for unknown reason. There were no response what-so-ever for messages left on Skype or e-mail.
