I didn’t get interviewed at all, so how could there be any pros?
They scheduled an interview with me, and I arrived on time as scheduled, only to discover that the HR person who had arranged the interview was not in the office.
I waited for nearly 40 minutes. Three or four other employees came over to ask me, “Who are you here to interview with?” and told me to wait a little longer. Later, someone came out holding a phone, asked for my name, and took a photo of the interview notification in my email on my phone. I happened to see a message from the HR woman on their phone saying, “Who? I completely don’t remember scheduling anyone today.”
Finally, the person who came out on behalf of HR to ask me for information said that the HR person was stuck in a meeting and asked whether I wanted to wait another 30 minutes until she returned from the meeting.
However, I had something else to attend to afterward, so I couldn’t wait any longer. Even so, I expressed my willingness to interview again as a gesture of goodwill, asking them to have their colleague tell HR to contact me proactively to arrange a time for the next interview.
Generally speaking, if a meeting really causes a delay that affects an interviewee’s time, they should feel very sorry and contact me immediately after the meeting to arrange another time. But she did not, and there was no email either. I waited until the end of the workday without hearing from her…
I specifically took time off work to attend the interview. I truly feel that their attitude was extremely awful and disgraceful!
