The company office is quite spacious, but it feels like that's about the only advantage. The whole experience felt very disrespectful toward the interviewee, with the standard corporate mindset of thinking that whoever pays is the boss.

Unless you particularly want this job, I suggest you don't go out of your way to waste your time. I don't know why they sent such an incompetent person to conduct the interview. Are they actually looking for employees? It felt like they were playing interview games.

They sent a brat who was supposedly a “consultant” to conduct the interview, but in reality she was only “consulting her questions,” without considering at all what position the company was hiring for.

The job application was for content marketing, and they specifically reminded applicants to bring a portfolio. Yet they never asked about it at all and kept asking about past planning documents instead. In the end, was I interviewing for a planning position or a content position? It was impossible to tell. I've genuinely never been asked for planning documents before. The interviewer then seemed to enjoy watching the interviewee struggle and started frantically questioning me about planning documents, even saying: “We invited you here precisely to assess your planning abilities.” Oh, I really had no idea. I thought you wanted to assess my content marketing abilities.

It's not that assessing my planning abilities would be unacceptable, but shouldn't your company then include the word “planning” in the job title? Especially when you explicitly told me to bring a portfolio.

Also, I basically don't understand why you couldn't assess planning ability from the portfolio. Aren't you a “consultant”?

Fine, whatever. On top of that, it felt like she couldn't accept opinions different from her own. She asked why I thought something was the case, but after I shared my thoughts, she said, “Actually, what you said is a bit contradictory.”

So I guess your perspective is the only one that isn't contradictory.

It also felt like they had no idea what kind of employee they wanted to hire. They fixated only on the work experience listed on my résumé. For example, because my résumé mentioned data analysis, they kept asking how I analyzed data and what insights I had gained from the analysis, making me wonder: “So which position am I interviewing for now?” In short, it was an incredibly ridiculous interview experience. Sharing this for reference.

Oh, and I saw other people mention that they were told they would receive an email but then never heard back. I was also told that I would be notified whether or not I was hired. Actually, nobody is waiting for that notification, okay? You don't need to waste time sending an email.

Please. I had already crossed your company off my list halfway through the interview, okay? Employers and companies with outdated, authoritarian mindsets, wake up: you're not the only ones evaluating people in an interview.
