I have interviewed at two dozen companies for a senior developer position and just had a weird experience at an Austrian company.
Two HR reps spent the first 12min talking about why they liked working there, their hobbies, friend and family, sports, etc, before I had a chance to introduce myself.
When I started talking, they didn't want to know about professional experiences ("it's all in your CV, tell us about YOU"). I was super uncomfortable with a giant looking glass looking into my soul. It was awkward.
Company was 100-200 employees.
Is this what being screened for cultural fit looks like?
