Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I would say its average level of difficulties. I faced some of the unexpected questions but noting was out of the world. All the higher management taken the interview made sense while asking questions. Overall very good experience and HR team is very supportive.
the overall interview is totally a happy one, no harsh time
the time that i have an interview with is a one to one personal interview with the line manager
Doesn't explain why they rejected, interviewer sounds dismissive. When asked for reason, they did not get back nor explain the reason for rejection. I think it is important to have common courtesy
Online interviews
Asked a lot of situational questions and questions about my working experience and history.
Interviewer didn’t share much about the current team and reason of hiring.
The interview is around 1.5hr long.
