The first interview was okay.
For the second interview, I waited an hour for the boss: At first, HR told me that I would need to wait half an hour for the boss. Although I understand that the boss may genuinely be unable to get away sometimes and was willing to wait, it had already cost the company points in my mind.
After waiting half an hour and the boss still had not arrived, I politely told HR that if the boss was busy, we could schedule another time. HR was generally good at reassuring me, but there was one point I found difficult to accept: “The interviewer is the boss, and he will be your boss in the future...” The problem is that I am not yet an employee and do not receive a salary from him. An interview is an opportunity for the company to assess the candidate, but the candidate is also assessing the company.
Since HR is also a salaried employee and the boss’s tardiness was not HR’s fault, I did not want to make things difficult for them. Reluctantly, I agreed to wait another ten minutes, and ended up waiting an hour in total.
The interview itself could not be called good or bad, but given the lack of respect shown during the interview, I found it difficult to respect the company either.
