Behavioral Other

the recruiting process was disorganized. there was a lack of communication between HR and the departments, and they didn't share information, leading to an interview being scheduled twice. during the interview, I regretted accepting the invitation because they were impatient. overall, it was the worst interview experience, and it made me understand why Germans complain about Deutsche Bahn. the company organization is terrible, similar to their railway service.
