Workplace reviews and discussion: 國賓大飯店股份有限公司

The air conditioning is very strong?

I was invited to an interview because someone at the Ambassador Hotel said the front desk was short-staffed; I did not apply on my own.

The interview time was also set by the Ambassador Hotel’s HR department for 1:30 p.m. I arrived 20 minutes early that day, but by the time the entire interview was over, it was nearly 4 p.m., because I ended up waiting around inside for more than two hours.

All I was told was that the supervisor was in a meeting. They gave me a cup of tea and a magazine, then left me waiting for two hours—showing complete disrespect toward the applicant.

If there was a meeting, why didn’t they notify me and change the time? Or why schedule this time in the first place?

The unprofessional aspects mentioned by the HR staff in the comments below are also all true, so I will not elaborate further here.

Throughout the process, my résumé was constantly criticized, with an attitude suggesting that their front-desk team was full of excellent candidates and did not need me, and that they would see whether the restaurant wanted me and then notify me about a second interview.

It is unbelievable that a historic hotel would treat applicants this way. I imagine that even if I joined, I probably would not receive good treatment, so future interviewees should think carefully.
