I interviewed by phone with the HR manager and it went great. Was invited to meet in-person with her and another colleague, whom I would be replacing. They were both encouraging and very positive! Then was invited back to meet the CEO! I was so excited as this firm was my 1st choice for a career! I had all weekend to prepare, study, watch videos, examine their financials & competition, did my homework! My interview was at 5pm on a Monday. Took the day off from work. The whole day I watched YouTube videos featuring the CEO. Dressed my best, got there extra early... When I got there, I was informed I'd meet the Chief of Staff briefly. She gave me her card after our discussion. I waited... and waited... was finally told that the CEO was on the phone and not available. I was escorted out... Never heard back. It was the most humiliating experience. Very disappointed that the CEO didn't even have the courtesy to meet me for a few minutes no matter what they thought of me. After all, they were the ones who invited me there to meet him. I left shocked, not understanding what happened. It really played a toll. Never heard from them again. Looking back, I am glad I found out early on what kind of leader he really is to treat potential candidates in that manner. I wonder whether he and his team was treated that way when bidding for a project in the past and was just blown off so abruptly.
