The Oyster Partnership interview questions

Terrible- one word to summarize the whole experience. They call you and shortlist you and pretend to be kind with you with all of these strangers in the room to be competitive with one another. This whole idea of going against one another is TOXIC. I am glad that I didn’t get this job in this recruitment company because I was saved from this toxic and horrible nightmare. The whole experience that they bring you in the company to introduce yourself and speak a lot of yourself to basically “sell” yourself and they wanted us to pitch something that were passionate about. Basically, the whole idea was to pick who they liked the most and that makes me understand how low level and without any standards of company culture. It was too good to be true, they speak a lot about their success but they don’t sound honest with themselves and how they built their success along the way. Very arrogant with the candidates as I was testimony of a scene of the CEO speaking in an extreme direct and offensive manner towards a girl that was selling her drink as part of her sales pitch. I was speechless of the manner how the CEO was arrogant to her and to many other candidates. Another example, it was a Q&A session and someone from the group asked to the CEO, “how did you become CEO today?” You know how he answered back? “You tell me how I became CEO.” I mean I was without words of how such bluntness and rudeness he answered back. I would NEVER work with such disgusting and without any valued people as such these people themselves. Lastly, it was also feeling cold in their room as they have a new office, I kindly asked the woman during the break, “can I kindly have a hot tea please?” Do you know what she answered to me back? (FYI the assessment day took from 13:00-15:00 overall I was in the cold room for 3 hours without any hot drinks served) she said “no here is the water if I give you tea I would have to give it to everyone else.” You make people come to your office to sit their and use our saliva to speak and it also cold in and I said multiple times “it’s cold in the room” and you don’t even serve hot tea or coffee to the candidates? I mean what a stingy and cheap attitude they had. No wonder they have negative reviews and avoid people’s opinions based on real facts. They hide the fact that they are toxic and work long hours treating their staff and employees with such disrespect. Overall I was short listed and they then decided to not go with my candidacy, I was saved by the bell and I am blessed to have noticed all of these red flags. Their interview process is lengthy and treat people with disrespect I would be careful to take into consideration their offer as they do not even talk about KPI’s and salary’s. Not to mention career growth.
