The interview directly determines how much you are worth, outright denying that the interviewee’s work experience has any value, and also judging people based on their age.
The director is unprofessional, and the company has little sense of cohesion. Anyone planning to interview there, please think three times.
The interview process is just about showing off how great the company’s work is while making the interviewee’s experience sound terrible. The company’s employees’ salaries are also only at the level of a little over 30,000.
It seems to be a well-known design company in the design industry, and the projects it takes on also have budgets of a certain standard. Those with passion and interest should be well suited to learning at your company.
I interviewed around April 2019. There were two interviewers: the director and a senior designer. The process went fairly smoothly. Although we had some differences in our perspectives, I personally found both interviewers easy to get along with. The director felt that young people of our generation are not unwilling to work hard, but simply do not want to be so exhausted. I agree with that; after all, under these working conditions, it is impossible for there to be more people than before who still want to work in this industry.
However, there is one thing I care about very much. Regardless of whether the interview process goes smoothly, the interviewer should see the candidate out. It would have been fine if the director had simply asked an employee to see me out, but after the interview, when I left the meeting room, the director and the other senior employee went straight back to their workstations. I had to take off my slippers casually at the entrance, find the door myself, turn the handle, and leave. I was a guest, after all, not your employee, and I really did not feel respected.
Recognize many realities of the interior design industry. If you consider yourself someone who pursues the realm of “beauty,” you can give it a try.
When I met the director, his first words were: “What do you think?” (I thought to myself: What do you mean, what do I think?)
Then came a series of sarcastic remarks and the like.
