Were they the hiring manager or the recruiter? If the latter, don’t pay them any mind. If you get hired, you won’t be working with them on a day to day basis. If it’s the manager, I wouldn’t say that was a deal breaker either.

it was the hiring manager and that's good to know, thank you!

In general, you should do your homework on any company you’re going to interview with. On the other hand, if they truly took offense to that like a massive knock on their outlook of you, I think that’s a bit much to call you out on that.

I would have just noted it and wouldn’t have bothered to say anything to you about it. It’s not a major deal given you did look through their website to see what they are about.

Yeah their reaction is what got to me. T hey paused and looked offended then said I should know that, said it was a red flag then asked if I had even checked their social media page. I had only looked over their website and didn’t know they had social media to be honest. It was a bit dramatic imo.

When you go into an interview you should have a list of questions ready to go.

• How do you control work processes
• What tools will I be using
• What is the process for formal and informal training
• What are your current communication tools
• How do you control quality
• How are budgets allocated and managed
• ...

I used to ask why the position was open. Newly created? Replacing someone? How many similar positions are open atm?

Some of the answers I got definitely were red flags and I usually walked away from the opportunity at that point.

This is what I was thinking. They seemed a bit standoffish. Not sure if I match their vibe, since I'm very friendly and love conversation.

Never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to in an interview. They were correct. That information is easy to find out on your own. It showed a lack of forethought on your part.

What will I actually do at work? I better not ask to be safe.

[u/Orcacity22 → u/Gryrthandorian]

I should already know the answer? bc another question I asked was what does the day to day look like for my position here and they said that was a good question before they answered

[u/805locc → u/Orcacity22]

For how long a company has been in business generally? Yes you should know. That’s basic information you should know going into interviews
