Iress interview questions

I had a very disappointing interview experience for the Risk Manager role. While I understand that interviewers may challenge candidates’ responses, I found the approach taken in this interview to be unnecessarily dismissive and discourteous. There were two interviewers, one from the Risk team and one from another business unit. Throughout the interview, several of my responses were met with comments explaining why my perspective was “wrong” and how they would have approached the situation instead. Rather than feeling like a discussion to understand my thinking, it felt as though my answers were being dismissed without genuine consideration. I appreciate constructive challenge, but the manner in which the feedback was delivered came across as disrespectful. The interview concluded on a similarly disappointing note. When I was invited to ask questions, I was told there was no time left, and before I had the opportunity to thank the interviewers for their time, the call was ended. This was the least professional interview experience I have had. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as the interview process should reflect the professionalism and respect that candidates can expect from the organisation, regardless of whether they are successful.
