While the interviewer and I initially got along, it became increasingly clear that there is no work-life balance at this company. This isn't necessarily a dealbreaker but the way that the interviewer approached the topic was increasingly unsettling. Questions like "you understand this job is salaried and you won't receive overtime, right?" and "how often do you unexpectedly need time off" came up. For my part I made it clear that I didn't have a lot of commitments outside of work and didn't have qualms about working late on occasion but the interviewer kept circling back to this in a way that had me questioning if I would have any time outside of work. One example of this is a pretty standard interview question "What do you do when you may not be able to complete multiple tasks before the end of the day?" My response had to do with prioritizing based on business impact to which the interviewer responded, "most of the time we just have to stay late into the evening in order to get everything done." Overall this felt like less of an interview and more of a disclaimer that Cochlear was less interested in how candidates handle tasks and more fixated on whether or not they were essentially on-call. I've held jobs like this before, and while a 50-60 hour workweek every other month isn't an issue, I've worked at enough terrible companies to recognize when an employer aims to take advantage of salaried positions to task one employee with the same the same amount of work as multiple people.
