The interview was not perfunctory, but because it was conducted by HR, the questions were not technical enough, making the interview feel much like a question-and-answer session with a robot.

HR could not decide whether to hire me, so the manager of the relevant department called me separately to ask additional questions. Despite saying they would notify me after a week, I heard nothing. When I called to ask the department manager whether there was a result, the manager said they had to ask HR. The entire process took nearly a month, leaving me with many questions. If even the manager in charge of the department cannot make decisions, I feel that after joining, work would also become trapped in a cycle of repeatedly escalating decisions and going back and forth, wasting time.

1. The commute takes more than 50 minutes. The company is located in an industrial area, which is remote, and the main road can be somewhat dangerous when traffic is heavy.

2. Before the actual interview, there is a phone interview (about 20 minutes, during which they will ask about your personality and strengths and weaknesses; it is best to provide three examples). Only after HR feels that things are satisfactory will they schedule a date and time for an in-person interview. During the interview, they repeatedly ask whether you can accept working overtime (which gives the impression that this is a job involving frequent overtime). After you agree to attend the interview, HR may even ask again whether you are really coming, because everyone declines. At this point, you should be able to understand why previous candidates refused this company—the experienced can spot the warning signs immediately!

3. HR will send you two files in advance. One is the company application form (which asks about your three strengths/weaknesses, your reasons for joining Lien Hong, your expectations for future work, your future learning and development plans, and your earliest available start date), and the other is a DISC assessment. Pay particular attention to whether HR forgets to email you because they are busy. If you find that the company has read your message but does not reply (then perhaps fate is telling you not to go).

4. The interview is conducted by a Chinese supervisor (presumably the HR supervisor), who bombards you with sharp questions to assess you and probe for information about your previous company (it is recommended that you be selective about what you disclose and not let yourself be led around by the nose). The interview also ends extremely quickly, just as previous commenters described, making you seriously suspect that they were not actually hiring.

5. They do not explain any benefits related to the company during the interview. After a series of aggressive questions, they hastily signal for you to leave. Only before you depart do they say that, if you pass this round, they will schedule the next interview; if they do not inform you within seven days, you did not pass, and they will not notify you separately. If they had explained from the beginning over the phone that there would be so many interview rounds (with each round scheduled on a different day), that you would have to wait seven days regardless of whether you were accepted, and that they would not directly notify you if you were unsuccessful, it would be best to simply give up on the interview! Do not waste your time here and squander your life.

They proactively reached out, claiming to have reviewed my design experience and design style and felt that I matched the kind of talent your company was looking for.

They enthusiastically invited me to an interview, sending an invitation by email and calling to request my portfolio (?)

They misspelled my name in the email and then sent another invitation email to correct it.

They claimed to have reviewed my design style, but then said they had not seen my portfolio and wanted to look at it first—even though the link to my portfolio was included in my self-introduction.

Later, they wrote, “Your style may not be a good fit for what we need. We’re very sorry, but we must decline your application.”

What a baffling company—what a joke.

Quick notification, nice environment, and friendly HR.

The interview also ended just as quickly. I suspect they weren't actually hiring at all.

The same job posting has been up for months. Maybe they just want to gather information and learn about relevant technologies.

Hahaha~~ Good thing I held back.

The interview process was quick

During the interview, they said they would notify me within 3–5 business days, but after two weeks had passed, I still hadn't received any notification at all. When I called to inquire, the manager was always in a meeting, and there was still absolutely no follow-up. Sending an email likewise led nowhere.

I don't know what HR is doing. This is how the company treats its integrity.

The commute took about 20 minutes, and the actual interview also lasted approximately 20 minutes.

The interviewer only asked questions about practical experience. After learning that I had no practical experience, they hastily ended the interview, which made me feel that I was not treated with much respect.

If the company wants to recruit candidates with practical experience, perhaps it should refrain from inviting candidates who lack such experience to interview at the company. The company could already determine from the job website—and even from the company’s standard résumé form completed before the interview—that the candidate lacked practical experience. Nevertheless, the interviewer focused solely on practical-experience questions, which was difficult to understand.

The interview invitation came very quickly, and the process was not perfunctory either.

A position has been posted for several months, with a steady stream of interviewees, yet the same position remains posted. This shows that the company is not actually that eager to hire.
