I applied to this job because, based on the job description, I satisfy a good chunk of the requirements, except for the Microsoft on-premise data reporting and analytics technologies (SRSS, ...etc). I do have their equivalent, however, plus a couple of years of using SQL server. The HR screening was fine, but I did sense some lack of organization early on. Next thing, I had an interview with the hiring manager on a Tuesday, just to receive a confirmation from HR that the interview is on Monday (few hours before the actual time). I accepted that, but there was no apology or explanation, and that served as a first sign of disrespect and lack of courtesy. The hiring manager was generally polite, but I did feel some scornful demeanor, complaining twice about my camera freezing (did not have that complaint ever before, during any virtual meeting). What I did learn from him is that most of their technology stack is still on premise, with some cloud presence, and that their data volume is mostly on the low end, still using old Microsoft based technologies for generating reports and running some analytics. I learned, however, that this (presumably, permanent) position was to replace someone going on maternity leave, but, upon her return, the new hire can move to a more managerial role. Of course, this was not highlighted in the job posting or by the HR, and does raise the question of the fate of the new employee if someone else is favored for that managerial role over the course of the year. The hiring manager highlighted that they are a Microsoft shop, and questioned my skills in that area, which I highlighted earlier. When asked about my preferences in a workplace, I mentioned working with new technologies and open communication with management. I was then told by the hiring manager that, in the spirit of open communication, he believes that I am not a good fit for the job because of the lack of some Microsoft technologies (which were never listed on my CV in the first place, so why did they waste my time by calling?) and because of my preferences in a future workplace (apparently, he was offended by me saying 'new technologies'). I did read some Glassdoor employee reviews before the interview, which flagged an unhealthy work environment, and, unfortunately, the condescending interviewing approach proved that right, and considering the employer's size and technology stack, there is really nothing that justifies such demeanor.

"It was the most boring IT job I've had." Yeah I know, it wouldn't get me the job, but this was an innapropriate question in a technical interview. I mean, the hiring manager showed up in a HD T-shirt, and I had already decided that I didn't want to work for this person Less
