It appears to be an organisation that does not genuinely value or respect candidate profiles. Despite all details being clearly outlined in the resume, the interviewer made inappropriate remarks about age, which were both unprofessional and irrelevant to the role.
Furthermore, the hiring manager did not seem clear on the type or seniority of candidate they were seeking. The interview process reflected a misalignment between expectations and reality, where senior-level experience was explored, yet compensation expectations suggested a junior-level budget. This indicates a lack of clarity and preparedness in the hiring process.
