I applied online. I interviewed at Independent Research and Advisory Indonesia in Feb 2021
Interview
Contacted 3 days before the interview, which was quite sudden. When asked whether there was any assessment, I received no response.
The interview started with basic questions, why you wanted the role and how you fitted in.
Then it moved to several study case scenario, assessing your business analytical skills and awareness of socio-political developments. The interviewers were tough but remain very professional until the end.

Interview
It was probably the worst interview experience I've ever felt. I felt that the interviewers didn't read my expertise or my past working experience; they keep asking some questions that far from my expertise.
Another thing is, I felt that they should notify me in advance if the interview was more technical or substantive or analytical, as I was not prepared for it.
I thought it would be a screening HRD test, so I didn't expect anything more analytical question. The interviewer probably 4 to 5 people, including the HRD and analyst/senior analyst team.
At the end of the interview, I found out that one of the interviewers took my photo (without my consent) and shared it with their ex-colleague (who is a friend of mine). I feel objected by that as I believe the interview process was a formal event. And for me, it was inappropriate, violate my privacy, and looks unprofessional. So I withdraw the application.
The way they treated the applicants tells so much about the work environment. So yeah, that's my opinion.
