In 2018, from going to the interview and written test until leaving, it took 3 hours. A senior executive conducted the interview, reviewed the written test score, and even asked the person who graded the test to come out and explain the answers, which left me speechless.... I answered according to the practices of listed companies. What should have been tested was an understanding of accounting principles; each company has different practices. I felt it was too subjective. Job seekers’ time is equally valuable.....
A very large-scale company. I applied for an accounting position, and the test was two pages long (personally, I found it very difficult) and required preparing a statement of cost of goods sold. I had never encountered this before and couldn't answer any of it (awkward). Perhaps because I performed so poorly on the test, the interviewer did not provide much additional information about the company, but instead kept explaining—based on the questions I got wrong—that the company's industry was more complex than that of my previous companies. Of course, I wasn't given a chance to ask questions before being asked to leave~
The company could explain the key job responsibilities and requirements more thoroughly in the recruitment information, so as not to waste either party's time.
