I recently interviewed with Verint. The first round went well and was cleared successfully. However, the experience during the second round was extremely disappointing due to the behavior of the interviewer,
Although I was answering the questions, the interviewer constantly interrupted, changed topics abruptly, and did not allow me to properly explain my thought process or technical concepts. The overall approach felt unnecessarily aggressive and more focused on creating pressure and confusion rather than genuinely evaluating technical skills.
What stood out most was the lack of professionalism and basic listening skills. An interviewer should assess a candidate fairly, not try to dominate the conversation or dismiss explanations midway. The interaction felt disrespectful from the very beginning.
It was surprising to see someone conducting senior-level technical interviews while displaying very limited patience, poor communication etiquette, and weak technical depth in the discussion itself. A technically strong interviewer usually encourages clarity and structured discussion; this experience was the exact opposite.
The entire process ended up being a waste of time and energy. One important lesson I learned is that interviewing with true experts is often much easier and more productive than interviewing with people who are insecure or unable to evaluate concepts properly.
Companies should seriously evaluate the quality and professionalism of the people representing them in interviews. There is little point in calling candidates for interviews if the process is not intended to be fair, constructive, and respectful.
