No pros
The interview was originally scheduled for an agreed-upon time, but I later received a phone call saying that the supervisor suddenly had a meeting and it needed to be rescheduled for the following day.
I arrived about five minutes early on the day of the interview.
The receptionist discovered that there was no available meeting room and initially wanted me to sit in a place that looked like a pantry.
There was no space there either, so I was asked to sit on the sofa by the entrance and look through magazines for the time being.
I was later told that the supervisor was still interviewing the previous candidate,
so I was taken to sit in an office belonging to someone I did not know (with the air conditioning completely turned off) to fill out a form while waiting.
The height of the sofa and table was completely unsuitable ergonomically, so I eventually had to squat down to finish filling it out.
After I finished, the receptionist again gave me a magazine to read while I waited.
By then, more than 15 minutes had passed since the scheduled time, and I was finally able to enter the meeting room for the interview.
At the beginning, I was asked to introduce myself and answer why I wanted to apply for the position.
After I finished, the interviewer asked whether I had any questions.
The process made it seem as if the candidate was the interviewer. After the questions and answers were over, I was asked to go home and wait for the result.
The entire process lasted no more than 15 minutes. They also did not proactively introduce the company or the job responsibilities at all.
Highly not recommended; this interview was a huge waste of time.
