How often do you pull out of interviews when you don't mesh with a hiring manager? I had one join a zoom call the other day and literally just sit there. Super strange to say the least haha

I pull out of interviews when either I know I’ll HATE the work and can’t waste anymore time interviewing or they send me an aggressively time consuming case study prior to a real interview. That turns me off. I’d be much more likely to trust the company if I have a first round THEN a case study which shows some investment from them

Good to know, I don't blame you at all. Whenever I get homework I always try to throw in that I'm super busy right now and would be happier doing it over the phone live rather than home then live. I've had a few people shy away from that presumably because the written assignment gives the company a free consultation on paper.

I’ll usually give the crappy HR screen a pass, but if the first round is anything but great, no dice. It’s only downhill from there

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
