Had two rounds of interviews with the latter being with the Account Director - it was clear that the person was reading questions off a script and when I had gone into detail about my experience and skillsets, the next question they read off the page was something I had just answered two seconds ago. It was clear that they weren't looking to hear or understand what I had to say, so I retracted the application.

It was and still is the oddest interview in my professional career. The CEO was 30 minutes late for our meeting, and he neither showed any interest during the discussion on why I wanted to join them nor shed any insights on the role. The meeting was over in less than 10 minutes after he mumbled some vague mumbo-jumbo. I received a box of instant cake mix (Seriously?) as a parting gift, which ended up in the nearest trash bin. What a waste of time!
