InterviewThe process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at N.F. Smith & Associates (Hong Kong)
Had a video call interview with US Recruiter and follow up with a face-to-face interview with a manager (who didn't introduce herself) and GM (who didn't turn up for the interview). It was an extremely disrespectful interview and experience, and it was shocking where this company focuses in "customer centric" business model where they didn't treat their candidates well. An absolute waste of time!

InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at N.F. Smith & Associates (Houston, TX) in May 2020
Received an email to do a phone interview. The interview was about 20 minutes total, and at the end the recruiter told me that she would be in contact whether or not we would be moving forward. I was really disappointed when I never received another email from them even after sending a follow-up email. If you apply be aware this may happen to you.

Had a phone interview with one of their HR representatives. The phone call was probably like 15 minutes long. I was told I’d be given a call if they decided to have me go in to interview. It’s been over a week and I have not heard anything. I sent a follow up email and no one has replied. I would have appreciated a decline email at least.
