Sr IT Infrastructure Analyst
I interviewed for this company for a supposed open role, "Senior IT Infrastructure Analyst". After having a good conversation with the fairly new recruiter as of ~2 months with this company, I moved onto speaking with the Hiring Manager named Kevin Lau. I thought the beginning of the 1 hour interview was going fairly well, so when I gave this guy the floor to ask me any questions, he mentioned he was concerned about my Azure experience. Mind you, my current role actually involves administering Microsoft Azure. I have ~15 years of experience with Infrastructure. Not only was the HM condescending, he seemed threatened by my experience and what I could bring to the table. Long story short, he made it sound like I had just graduated from college and this was my first ever job. He discredited my experience 100%. No matter what expertise, skills and experience I elaborated on, the HM wouldn't budge and had the elitist attitude of, "Been there, done that" -- not in those words, but he definitely insinuated it. Here is part of the rejection email. Thank you for your interest in our Sr IT Infrastructure Analyst position. At this point in time we have decided to hold off on hiring for this position. What a joke and what a waste of my time. I know I am not the only one encountering these kinds of garbage companies with zero intention to fill a role, but it is absolutely demoralizing and disrespectful for any company to do this to a candidate when they knew damn right they were never intending on filling a role at all. I could have had 30+ years experience and this joke of a Hiring Manager would still push back as if he is some kind of god. Give me a break, I guarantee I know a lot more in many areas then this joke HM. Just because he was slightly older doesn't mean he knows everything. In fact, when I tried to have him get on a more technical level, he would not. So it makes me strongly doubt this guy knows what the hell he was really talking about. What a disgrace the US job market has become.
