The worst interview I ever had in my life. The HR woman who interviewed me focus on the fact that I have a child and she decide for myself that I can not work 100%. She didn't listen to me after this, I feel like I was talking alone.
Dear reviewer,
Thank you for your review,
We are sincerely sorry that you had that feeling, but I can assure you that H.Glass is a parents friendly company.
There are parents in all the levels of our organization chart and it never caused any problem in our company.
That being said, we will make sure our questions are not misleading in the future and we apologise for the bad experience.

Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at H.Glass (Ecublens, Vaud) in Aug 2021
Interview
I was called by the HR for preliminary questions.
Then few days after I was invited to present myself, my background and my motivation for the position . Few days after the presentation, they informed me that I had been promoted to the next step which consisted to make a technical report by answering to five technical questions. I submitted the report and I was invited ten days after for the final interview where I met the two HRs and people working in the company.
We were reciprocally not convinced of each others. I didn't receive an offer.
The impression I got is that they hire highly qualified personnel (polite people, with PhDs) to work very hard but for unspecific "brilliant" ideas of the managers. I found the whole story of the technical report during the recruiting process very unprofessional, especially for the type of questions ( about the specific technical problems they are trying to solve, but without giving any information about the product. Chose, guys: either one or the other). I have never encountered the unpleasant attitude of the male recruiter anywhere else. Indeed, in multinationals much more famous and structured than this small startup, I have met much more professional and humble HR people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have a partner? We ask in advance because sometimes we have problems with the permits and we don't want to lose time, arrive at the offer and then find out your spouse can move to Switzerland.
Do you want to work more in R&D or in management?
How would you solve this technical issue 1 (2,3,4)?
