Long post—read at your own discretion (the interviewer was a female manager)
I have interviewed with many companies, and today's interview manager provided the worst experience I have ever had. The interviewer was highly prejudiced and showed no respect for the interviewee from beginning to end. This was already the second interview. Normally, being notified of a second interview should mean that, after consideration, the company wanted to learn more about the candidate and was interested in hiring them. However, from beginning to end, she showed no interest in getting to know me and only kept asking, “What questions do you have?” I came to the company for an interview, so shouldn't the interviewer be asking me questions? I was unfamiliar with the company, so the nature of the work, salary, and benefits should have been explained to me. Then I could ask questions. If nothing is explained, what am I supposed to ask? Candidates are also nervous during interviews, and the answers they give are what they themselves consider reasonable and appropriate. Yet the interview manager was on her phone throughout the entire interview and did not listen attentively. She even asked, “Can you say that again?” I do not think I said anything unclear at the time. Rather, the interviewer’s constant phone use made me feel extremely disrespected. Instead of giving the interviewee confidence during the interview, she made the candidate feel disrespected.
Before the interview, I had already done extensive research online. Many people have shared their experiences interviewing for business positions at this company. From last year until now, the company has continuously been hiring and has also continuously been criticized by netizens, who all say that it is a company that does not respect interviewees. During the interview, I said that I liked the company’s atmosphere and culture and that it seemed very lively. The interviewer actually responded, “You’ve never been here before, so how would you know?” I complimented your company, but in return received a mocking tone and was made to feel discouraged. I have never experienced an interview process that was so incompatible and awkward. The interview lasted 30 minutes in total, 20 of which were spent waiting; the actual interview took approximately 10 minutes. It felt as though I was merely being dismissed perfunctorily. If you really want to hire people and value everyone who comes for an interview, please do not spend the time of both parties on two interviews when the process is extremely inefficient, the discussion is not detailed, and the interviewer is evasive. Please make sure that the candidate is suitable for the position before sending a second-interview invitation; otherwise, you are simply wasting both parties’ time. If you want to find talented people, please first review the interviewer’s attitude. This is my suggestion to your company. Whether you hire me is one thing, but one thing is certain: this interview experience was terrible for me. My high expectations and wasted time left me extremely upset. Your company’s interview was truly the worst I have ever experienced!
