After the HR phone screening I was scheduled for an interview with the director of QA. They were late on the phone call. It was less than 5 minutes, so that's wasn't necessarily a bad sign. The HR person who screened me called me, then put the Director into the call and left. A Sr. QA person was also added to the call. The phone interview consisted of a number of very basic questions revolving around things like black and white box testing definitions. I was interviewing for a Sr. Automation Engineering Job, and I have 24 years of experience on my resume. That isn't the type of simpleton question that I expected. The Director said perhaps 5 words the whole time. I felt like she was in another meeting at the same time or engaged in something else. I was left with the impression that they are so bored with interviewing candidates that it just wasn't worth their full attention. Or that they are just bored in general with what they are doing. I didn't get any negative read, but I got no spark either. This was their moment to shine, to impress me (as it was my moment to shine for them), and apparently I wasn't worth their time. I sent them email thanking them for the opportunity to interview and withdrawing my application. Life's too short to work with people who can't be bothered to impress when the cards are on the table. They will be paying even less attention to their daily work.
