Already on the fence about working for a company in this field I was soundly against it after the interview process. First, the recruiter texted me on a national holiday. No email or call, but a grammatically incorrect, short text asking for a date and time that I could speak. Second, the recruiter was 10minutes late in calling, offered no explanation or apology and repeated several questions more than twice. Third, outside of this person being an awful representation of any business, he asked me - who was applying to be the Marketing Director - how I would feel about redecorating their lobbies... And I how I would feel about managing the office staff to fix their culture and build a better team... As the Marketing Director. Fourth, they lied about their salary range in the job description. They put a clear range of salary in the description and when I told him my pay scale, which fit in their listed range, he said that was out of their budget, but he’d see what he could do. Fifth, he then asked if I’d be willing to come in the same day or the following to meet with the CEO. When I said no, he said “oh well then.” I’ll let you know what’s next by the end of the day. Six, in fact he did not let me know anything by the end of the day and never have any follow up of any kind. Which is fine because they lost me around the second point.

The process was quick, somewhat sporadic. The thing that threw me of is that Sunil asked that I bring in my pay stubs to my interview in case they decide to extend me an offer. I didn't totally get if I was hearing him right considering the current laws in CA and that an employer cannot ask for salary history. I circled back and tried to clarify if what he meant was my passport as to start the employment process. He said "no your pay stubs but only if you want to." *Side eye* I said that I would never provide a pay stub. He still asked to meet for an interview and provide references. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The general ebb and flow of the interview was somewhat combative and aggressive.
