None

An extremely unpleasant interview experience. On the first day of the interview, I was received by a manager, which was quite strange. At a large company, being hosted by a manager—even having the interview call arranged by a manager—was unusual.

The interview was conducted in two stages. The first was with the aforementioned manager, involving written questions and an initial Q&A. I was told there would be a second interview. Since I already had work experience, I assumed the second interview would be conducted by the hiring manager and focus on areas such as job capabilities. However, upon arriving, I discovered that many candidates—both experienced applicants and newcomers—were being interviewed together. Because multiple departments were conducting the interview jointly, it was impossible to know the duties and scope of each department's work. After everyone introduced themselves and the various managers finished their questions, the interview ended. Throughout the process, I personally felt that I had considerably more experience than the other candidates, yet I was ultimately not hired, which was quite bewildering. After all, making two trips is not easy for someone from out of town. Moreover, the first and second interviews were not substantially different; much of the information could have been found in the application materials. The main difference seemed to be whether one's previous work experience met the requirements, yet many of those interviewed together were fresh graduates with no experience at all. The interview process at this company was truly a joke.
