Applied for a two positions at TMGcore. The recruiter responded to one of them and set up a phone interview. Only one person was on time for the phone interview (5 scheduled), the second person joined 10 minutes late and never introduced themselves but interrupted with a series of questions anyway. Three more people joined with a couple minutes remaining and never introduced themselves. Really strange experience. Got invited for an in person interview.
The in person interview was worse. I found out that I was not interviewing for the position that the recruiter had responded to, but a different one that I had applied to months earlier (and already been rejected). The two people interviewing me would interrupt each other and play on their phones while I was responding to the other. We eventually went for a tour of the facility and one of the interviewers wandered off to talk to someone (without excusing himself) and I didn't see him again. The interview continued with my would-be direct manager. He asked me a theoretical question which caught me off guard (remember, I prepared for a different position) and I struggle to answer it. I explain that I have a disability which makes it difficult for me to remember things, but I mitigate it through detailed note taking. He mocks me for this, which is borderline lawsuit material. Then he proceeds to spend 4 minutes listening to a voicemail from the CEO, and I am left standing there alone in the middle of their showroom. He was very condescending to me for the rest of the interview, and I almost just walked out at one point where he was berating me.
I thought I bombed the interview, but somehow the next day I receive a very generous offer from them. They could have doubled this offer and I wouldn't have taken it. The disorganization and lack of tact was appalling, and I got the impression that most people there were putting in 60+ hour weeks (on salary).
Before I interviewed I saw a couple of interview reviews of glassdoor with some red flags (like using the phone during the interview) and I thought that it was an exaggeration. Nope.
