lifeImage received my resume from an agency, and responded that they were so interested, they wanted to skip a phone screen and go straight to a 2-hour face-to-face interview with four different people. When I told the agent that I wanted a phone screen before investing an afternoon (and lost wages) in an interview, I was told that that would be an indication that I wasn't really interested in the job.
So I arranged the time off, and went to the interview. I first spoke with the manager (who said that it was his decision to skip a phone screen), and one technical person. At the end of the second session, the interviewer went out to get the next person, but came back saying that the third person was managing a technical crisis and could not meet me, so he would escort me out and reconnect at another time.. I asked about the fourth person, an HR person, and was told that he was busy too.
There was no reconnection, Three or four days later my agency got back to me and said lifeIMAGE didn't think there was a cultural fit.
The interview process was disrespectful of me, the value of my time, and ultimately unprofessional.
