I applied for this role because it was advertised as fully remote. I had my first interview and there was no mention that this would be a in office full time for training and there after, a hybrid schedule. I completed an assignment and was told I would hear back the week after, but it wasn't till two weeks where I was called in for a second interview.
The second interview was with the initial interviewer, and two other members of the team. It was very uncomfortable because I could not completely understand what the second person who was interviewing me was asking. They would ramble a lot and I couldn't follow through. They then surprised me and asked me about office work and I told them that I am a remote worker as it fits my lifestyle better and I'm more productive. They were also aware that I live very far away and would need to rely on transit. They then said that this would be a hybrid schedule, to which I was extremely disappointed in because thats not what I applied for and they shouldn't advertise "fully remote" on their posting. There was no mention of a hybrid schedule on the posting at all.
After the second interview, I got a call back for a reference check and they asked if i would be willing to commute. I let them know this isn't an option for me at all and thanked them for their time. Honestly though, this was poorly managed by them and companies should not be wasting candidates time with false information on their job postings. I hope they find the right person but in future, it would be best to put your in office expectations on your job postings so you're not wasting your time or potential candidates.
Informal chat where the CEO spoke about the company and line manager spoke about the role. CEO spoke over the other interviewed quite often. Didn't get the sense that there was much respect there.
I applied online. I interviewed at SiteMax Systems (North Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2024
Interview
First of all there is a phone call and then in person interview with vp of engineering and then CEO and his name is James. Its very important to mention his name becaue i beleive he needs attitude correction and should learn how to be respectful to others.
Here are some key reasons why I would advise potential candidates to avoid this place:
Unprofessional Conduct: The CEO displayed unprofessional behavior during the interview process. He was agitating and rude, and conducted the interview while driving, which indicated a lack of seriousness and respect for the candidate’s time.
Lack of Clarity: During the interview, the CEO repeatedly restated questions without providing necessary context, making it difficult to respond appropriately. This lack of clarity and guidance was frustrating and unhelpful.
Disrespectful Communication: When seeking clarification, the CEO's responses were dismissive and rude. Everyone deserves respectful communication, regardless of their position.
No Follow-up or Feedback: After the interview, there was no follow-up or feedback provided , leaving me in the dark about the status of my application. This lack of communication reflects poorly on the company’s candidate management process.
