I had a very bizarre interview yesterday. My city has an SMBC office. The job post mentioned my city in the description. My 3 interviewers were all from NJ / NYC area based on their LinkedIn profiles. They were ALL AWARE I am in a different city. In fact, one interviewer was the hiring manager.
Two things happened in the interview:
- 2 interviewers were late.
- For spending 45 minutes on the interview, one interviewer said she will talk to HR if I can be even considered.
Why did the interviewers waste my time? This is totally unprofessional.
