I applied online. I interviewed at Red Bull (Salzburg) in Mar 2023
Interview
To have a first contact interview with a company as a prerecorded video is just unacceptable. Especially for senior positions. I lacked any kind of human contact and felt it reflected badly on the company culture. It might be cost effective but it is very devaluating. You can do better.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you be willing to work on site at the company office in Austria.
Was invited for an online video recording interview, was asked to answer a few of the usual interview questions (why this position, why redbull etc.), did not hear back following the submission.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Red Bull in Jul 2023
Interview
I did multiple tests, recorded interviews, online interviews, and email negotiations over the course of 3 weeks and was ghosted by the recruiter.
I'd assess that I put 5-7 hours of effort into Red Bull, and their inability to spend two minutes on a rejection email wasn't very professional. Not sure exactly how many candidates we're in the running at that point but definitely less than 10.
