They show a reasonable amount of respect for interviewees.
I was a recent graduate participating in campus recruiting. The company's interview process had two stages; the second was said to be an interview with the CEO. At first, I thought it would be a waste of time, and it really was a waste of time ==
The CEO asked exactly the same questions as the junior manager in the first interview. The only difference was that, at the end, the CEO asked—in a somewhat aggressive and rude tone, as if insisting that I answer "I will definitely show up for work"—whether I was sure I would accept the offer.
They also didn't clearly explain the salary. I thought HR would discuss the exact salary and benefits with me after the second interview, but that didn't happen. They simply sent me an offer letter with none of that information and said I had to reply confirming that I would definitely show up for work before they would tell me my salary and benefits??
How am I supposed to make a decision when I don't know anything? I replied and told them that they should at least provide the basic information so I could compare it with my other offers, right? They then sent an HR representative who couldn't explain things clearly and had no position of her own, merely relaying messages, to give me a bunch of nonsense about why they couldn't let me know the salary and benefits. After I replied with an explanation of my position, she immediately said she would provide the information later. It felt like they had assumed from the start that a student wouldn't push back. They didn't expect me to object, so HR immediately backed down. I have no idea what they were doing—it was extremely unprofessional.
