Inside the office building, it was fairly neat and clean.
The interviewing manager was very kind and provided thorough answers to my questions.
A few days after interviewing with the department manager, I received an offer notification simultaneously through the job bank and by phone. However, due to the outbreak of the pandemic, my start date was postponed until the end of Level 3 restrictions. Since the restrictions kept being extended, they called me again and asked me to wait a little longer. Before the restrictions were finally lifted, they contacted me to confirm my start date and asked me to prepare documents such as a health examination report and a certificate of good conduct to submit on my first day. After more than a month, I proactively asked again when we would confirm my start date. They suddenly asked when I would be available to participate in a second interview with the company owner. Afraid that I had misunderstood, I asked repeatedly and clearly whether this meant I had not been formally hired. Only then did they hesitantly admit that the owner had forgotten that I had not yet completed the second interview and that they were still interviewing many people at that stage. Even after I attended the second interview, the position was not guaranteed; I would still have to wait for notification of whether I was hired. I was extremely shocked and felt completely disrespected at the time!
At first, they only asked whether I could accommodate the second-interview schedule. It was only after I repeatedly questioned them that they told me I had not been formally hired and would have to start the interview process over. Although I had not yet paid to obtain the documents required for onboarding, what would I have done if I had obtained them in advance and was only then told that I had not been formally hired? If I had not proactively asked, would they not even have informed me about the second interview and simply canceled or withdrawn the offer without telling me?
I find this behavior extremely shocking. This company clearly lacks integrity, so anyone considering joining should think carefully.
