1. The supervisor is very honest
They make it clear during the interview that frequent overtime will be the norm in the future job.
2. The water is warm
Very considerate.
1. The arrangements were baffling
For the first interview, I was supposed to meet with someone in a director-level position or similar, but the supervisor in charge was not there because they had gone out. As a result, there was no meaningful outcome, and I was asked to come back another time. I don't know why they didn't notify me in advance and reschedule instead of wasting the interviewee's time. It was extremely disrespectful. The interview with the director consisted of self-introductions and questions about my strengths—information that could already be found on my résumé. They couldn't ask in depth about the actual job responsibilities. It was truly a waste of time!
2. Salary
At the end of the second interview, they told me that they would need to consider the salary I had requested. They said what the average salary for the position was and asked whether I would be willing to lower my expectations. It was really strange—my minimum expected salary was clearly stated. If they couldn't meet it, they shouldn't have invited me to interview in the first place, let alone try to cut it down. What a waste of time! Many companies have this problem. It's absolutely ridiculous!
