I received a screening invitation on a Sunday evening and was told the interview had to happen the very next day due to urgent timelines. I agreed because of the brand name, even though the timing was inconvenient. I was told there would be an assessment centre on Wednesday, so they needed to move quickly. However, after my Monday interview, I was unexpectedly told there would be another interview the very next day. I wasn’t prepared, and I was also travelling that week. I explained this and asked if I could at least have confirmation about the assessment centre, as I would need to make some arrangements. I received vague but positive signals, so I agreed again. After the second interview, I went out of my way to reschedule my travel, arranged for a friend to hold my luggage during the assessment centre, and delayed my trip later at night, just to stay committed. And then? Nothing. No update, no follow-up. Just a rejection two months later! I understand that companies can't hire everyone. But this kind of disorganised, last-minute, and ultimately disrespectful treatment of candidates' time is unacceptable, especially from a global brand. At the very least, be honest, communicate clearly, and don’t give false urgency or hope. I was a job seeker but not "jobless"!

After successfully completing the stage with verbal and numerical tests, I was invited to an online interview. The interview started in Russian (mother tongue) and smoothly switched to English. It lasted 20 minutes.

Moderate difficulty. Unprofessional managers and teams having toxic manner. Assessment Center was not taking serious. Too personal questions were asked. I joined the process to improve my interview experience. The offer including salary plus flexible benefits were quite low
