      Web Developer Interview

      Jul 7, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Iris

      Interview

      Was invited to a face-to-face interview first at their office. Just as the interview started with one of the senior people in the department, 2 of the team members came to join the interview later, each one at separate times. The interview was quite casual and I thought it went quite well. A few days later they emailed me a task to do by a certain date. Alongside having other job interviews at the same time, I did the task within 2 days and sent it back before their deadline date and the task wasn't easy. Then a few days later I get feedback from HR that the task had a mistake (which it definitely didn't because it was thoroughly checked and I had a lot of experience of doing that task from a previous role) and they made some excuse about looking for the right culture fit, so they decided to offer the role to someone else. To say I was gutted with their decision is an understatement. If they thought I wasn't a suitable fit for their culture or the role, why send the task for me to do after the interview - so they can waste a candidate's time? Looking at the reviews of people who have worked here, it seems like I was better off not working here anyway. Flexible working doesn't exist and you don't leave work on time.

      Web Developer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Iris in Sep 2010

      Interview

      I went to an face to face interview with Appu Ponnusamy and Hans Sabastian at their Singapore office. During the interview, I was told many lies and stories which I think were either untrue or totally made up. This can severely affect the reputation of the agency. The interviewers acted unprofessionally which put their personal integrity into doubt. Below is the whole story: During the interview, I was given an offer for which I tried to negotiate, because we couldn't reach an agreeable role and amount of money, I was given 3 days by Appu and Hans to think about it. They said once I agreed, there will be a second round interview. Three days later, I messaged Appu and said I accepted their offer and withdraw my extra demand. Appu said he will proceed. At the meantime, I had several other job offers, because I personally know Appu and Hans, so I believed their words based on mutual trust. Because my other job offers are put on hold, I contacted Appu the second time by calling him, he said in a relaxing tone that he was trying to arrange another talk and told me not to worry. I waited for another two days, and contacted him the last time, he still told me not to worry. Due to the fact that I have been holding the other party for so long, the offer was withdrawn, and I didn't get any news from Appu or Hans anymore. Now I am lucky that I got another offer from a company I like, so I can't be bothered to be angry with them since I got a job I want. A week after, coincidentally, my colleague joined Iris Digital. I didn't ask him about the job, but he told me the whole process. I was really shocked by things he told me. During my interview, I asked for a position, which according to Hans, was not available. But my friend got it. And he had exactly the same years of experience as me, which according to my interview with Hans, was not enough to get the position according to Iris hiring policy. So I am wondering now, a. why the same policy can be used differently on two persons with the same years of experience? b. if a position is not available, why can someone get it? I can't describe the anger I have with the two of them. If it's too much trouble to make phone calls to the people you've interviewed, at least send an email. Any form of communication is better than nothing. Candidates have a responsibility not to get all excited and hopeful until there's something concrete and definite to get excited and hopeful about, but the hiring manager should curtail her enthusiasm about an "outstanding" candidate and not mislead her or offer false and premature encouragement. I am a straight talker, if they have any issues about me getting the job, they should be frank during the interview, not to lie and distort the company policy and background to fool interviewees. I seriously doubt they are qualified to conduct any interview or to manage any people under any circumstances.
