Popcornopolis interview questions

Applied online and was contacted via email within 4 weeks of application. Initial phone interview with HR manager. Very pleasant and informative on current status, plans for future growth. Communicated a detailed timeline of next steps and met them all. I was very impressed with the level of communication and commitment to timeline. Second phone interview the EVP of sales. Very forthright in challenges facing company and bring to the next level. They were very prompt in informing me that I would not be taking the next step in process and provided rationale for the decision. Overall very professional.

I had been to many interviews throughout my career, this is by far one of the most unprofessional interview that I had encountered, actually, pretty much illegal. The CFO,out of all people, started my interview by asking me if I was married, if I have kids, if yes what are their ages 2,4,6 or 10 and to top it off, if I owned or rented my house. I was utterly shocked when these questions came out of his mouth, as they are considered "profiling" and to come from am executive of a company? I'm speechless!!! You can tell a lot about a company just based off of that alone. In addition, the executives (CFO, Owner's wife) were both very arrogant during the interview process and started giggling and making sarcastic remarks to responses that they didn't like or weren't getting out of me. It is apparent that this remains as a small company for a reason and there is definitely a lack of structure. There are bad interviews but this tops it all. With that said, I wouldn't be surprise if they run their business to the ground, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen because it's clear that they don't know what they are doing. It will be very difficult to acquire talent with that attitude. If you decide to go forward with the interview, I would like to wish you the best of luck but don't say I didn't warn you!
