Edlio is clearly in need of actual, trained and experienced managers as well as individuals who know how to actually interview. Interviewing is a soft skill but a skill nonetheless and having someone who isn’t able to conduct a proper one is not a great experience. I discovered that the person hiring for this role had no training in or real experience within product management. If this is standard with all management at Edlio, that they are not well-versed in their own professions, then this says a lot (of negative things) about the company and culture. Add in what felt distinctly like ageism in this painfully awkward interview and I feel lucky I dodged what seems like a terrible environment.
