      Product Developer Interview

      11 Oct 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Hot Topic (Los Angeles, CA)

      Interview

      The interview process was very standard - it began with a phone screening with HR followed by in person interview at their headquarters. I thought, the way the "in person" interview was handled was rather unprofessional. First of all the hiring manager for whom I was scheduled to interview was a no-show so I ended up only meeting with two people who weren't even hiring for their department. What is the point of having someone come in when the main point of contact is unavailable? The people who interview did not seem prepare for an interview and barely asked me any question pertaining to the position I applied to online. After the interview I followed up with a HR to ask if she had any feedback for me from the interview, I never got so much as a reply. Very professional. Complete waste of time.
