Had an initial phone interview with Sandhills Global in the USA, just talking to someone in HR. Prior to this phone call, I did some research and the overwhelming majority of employee sentiment is that everyone is miserable and leadership is toxic. I figured I’d entertain the call anyway, cause honestly I have a good amount of patience and have worked in places others deemed “toxic” just fine. Anyways, things were going well-ish until I asked her to “Describe the culture.” She began stammering, talking at a rate of 99mph, barely strung together coherent thoughts and finished maybe ONE complete sentence. All I heard was buzzword after buzzword after buzzword. I could tell this very basic question made her extremely uncomfortable. After she finished rambling, I asked “Sounds like there’s a strong leadership force. Do you enjoy working with your people leaders?” To which she basically regurgitated her previous answer. She sounded frantic, panicked, and shocked by my very basic questions. This was 4 weeks ago, needless to say, I haven’t heard anything from them since.
