I’ve had a lot of bad interviews but I think this one takes the cake. Some context: salary was never posted on the original job posting (on LinkedIn or on company website) and I have 4+ years doing exactly what this role requires. They have big name clients so I thought it would be an advancement in my career. I got an email at 9:57pm saying I could have a 15 min interview slot the next day and that I needed to respond ASAP as they were giving these time slots to “candidates on a first come, first serve basis.” Luckily I checked my email before bed and got a time slot for the next day. On the interview, I was asked generic questions. Knowing I only had a few minutes to impress I did a very high level overview with some main points just to summarize myself. Based on the follow-up questions, I could tell the interviewer didn’t spend much time looking at my resume. About 7ish minutes into the conversation they ask me my salary expectations. I tell them a range with the lowest number being about a 10% raise from which I’m already making. I was told verbatim “you’re not worth that much” and they promptly ended the interview. Overall, it was clearly a waste of everyone’s time and I left feeling incredibly insulted. I’m not one to leave poor reviews and usually I would just take this on this chin - but seriously what a disappointment. Can’t say I have a good taste in my mouth for this company.

I had an interview over Zoom for this role only to have the interviewer never reach back out or answer my follow-up emails. If you are going to have your applicants go through a 30/45 minute virtual interview, please have the courtesy to let the candidate know if the role has been filled.
