Interview process lacked transparency and felt overly controlling.
Pros:
• Exposure to CSR consulting and proposal-based work
• Organisation appears active across multiple CSR domains
Cons (long list alert):
• Interview process lacked transparency and clear communication
• Assessment details were not shared in advance and were communicated only after repeated follow-ups
• Candidates were expected to draft proposals in real time under direct observation, without prior clarity or written scope
• Reluctance to share interview structure or expectations over email
• Communication felt defensive when concerns were raised, rather than empathetic
• Strong emphasis on control (physical presence, monitoring during assessment) rather than trust
Overall Rating: 1/5
