This was the worst interview I have ever had, and it was only a phone interview.
To begin, I had to schedule a time for the interview, and the only day available to select was one week away. No other days were available. Inconvenient, but fine.
Then, the interview. I received the call. It was evident that my interviewer was a non-native English speaker. You could very easily tell that he/she was reading from a script with awkward terrible pauses. After I answered each question, it was apparent that some of my answers were lost in translation. How frustrating! I even asked some questions that weren't comprehended because of a language barrier.
It's outrageous that someone -who is deciding employment for an English speaker- does not have a command of the language. I have nothing against non native English speakers, but it is unacceptable to have someone interviewing in English who doesn't have a command of the language.
After the interview, it was made apparent the next day that the position wasn't even open for applicants at all.
The whole interview process felt impersonal (script reading) and unprofessional.
Pay is poor as well.
