3. 1st Round Interview
4. 2nd Round interview
5. 3rd round interview
I went up to 2nd round of interview which was a case study interview + behavioural interview with the managers and associates. It was a long process and I studied about the company and their business model inside out. I had a great feeling with the company in the beginning, as the recruiters were friendly and upbeat during the first round of interview. However I felt the 2nd round interviewers didn't seem that interested in getting to know their candidate and to be honest, they were cold and it was as if they were trying to come off intimidating. Rather than a conversation, it felt more like a quiz, like they already have the right answer in their mind and i was ticked off every time I didn't get them 'right'. I sent nice follow up emails for each interviewers and didn't get a single response. Few days later, I received a decline email telling me not to ask for a feedback. Considering the time and effort one must invest in applying for a position, perhaps getting this kind of attitude isn't worth it.
Interview process was ok, several stages and language test as it was a particular language speaking role, only downside really was very little feedback given at the end when not successful. When I asked for a feedback call as to why I wasn’t successful they didn’t answer my question and it was a 2 mins call saying that I was just unsuccessful.
