The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“The interview process felt disorganized, and there was a lack of communication on their end. The interviewer also didn't ask some of the questions correctly, which made the interview very confusing and uncomfortable.”Candidate-reported process
“I had a 30-minute video interview, a one-on-one session. It was all about behavioral and motivational questions, no technical stuff at all. It was online, not in person. They also required Mandarin skills even though it wasn't in the job posting.”Candidate-reported process
“First there was an online assessment with standard situational judgement, some pattern recognition questions and personality questions. Then came a job simulation which included the same types of questions but also a video interview.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
