Weirdest interview I've gone through in recent years. Interviewer, a group leader in the company with an impressive pedigree, sounded like he was trying to 3D print me into his ideal hire. Probably doing this to others : 1-3-1, Intro, Skill Dive, Admin. Interviewer reminded me that this was a conversational interview in which we were both evaluating eachother as a potential fit; the style actually skewed omnidirectionally towards didactic / pedantic. The middle third of the interview involved me sequentially being probed for evidence of skills and experience that in no way, shape, or form proclaimed themselves in my professional profile. I felt the urge to bow out, but I forged ahead b/c social conventions. Comparable to an attorney interviewing for a legal job in which the interviewer asks the applicant about his / her thoracic surgery acumen or experience mining rare earth metals, as these are an unpublished "nice-to-have" for the role, this went on, awkwardly, for fifteen minutes. The cherry on the cake was when, at the very end ("Admin"), in spite of a decade and a half of every educational / professional line items on my resume occurring within 2 cities in the United States dating back to high school, he asked if I was authorized or would ever need to be sponsored to work in the USA. If I could pin a Peter Gregory gif to this review, I would.
