I was approached by Deyaar’s HR team for an Investor Relations Executive role. Right from the start, I clearly stated my compensation expectations, which HR acknowledged and confirmed were within their range. The interview process was notably brief, comprising two meetings. The first involved the Communications Lead, the Investor Relations Lead, and the HR representative, while the second was with the CFO. Initially, I was informed that the process would only involve a single interview before a decision was made. However, following the first round, HR notified me that the CFO now wanted to meet, extending the process and creating delays. When the second interview took place, the CFO arrived 15-20 minutes late without offering any apology for the delay, which set an unprofessional tone. After the final interview, I waited another week before receiving a callback. HR informed me that they wanted to offer me the position, but at a significantly lower compensation than what I had stated—despite their initial confirmation that my expectations were acceptable. The CFO then called for a very brief conversation in which he bluntly stated that I either take the offer or leave it, delivered in a manner that lacked professionalism and class. Overall, the interview experience was highly disappointing. The HR team and the executive interactions were marked by unprofessional conduct and poor communication, with HR failing to respond to inquiries in a timely manner throughout the process. I would caution others to be wary of the inconsistencies and lack of professionalism in their interview practices.
