Interview
I was interviewed by HR with normal standard questions. They told me It wojld take 2-3 days for them to come back but they came back after two weeks. They told me I made It into the next phase and if I could do the interview two days after or let them know an alternative for that day or the next week. I answered that same day with a couple alternatives and they didn't come back. I followed up two days after in case maybe they missed It but was ghosted again.
To be honest, they made me a favor, as I would never want to work with such an unprofessional company that treats people's time and resources like this.
Of course that I was actively interviewing and had other very good and competitive options but I think we need to start exposing these malpractices during interviews so future employees know which type of company they are getting into.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at italki (Madrid) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview was a pleasant and friendly conversation. The questions were standard, focusing on my professional experience and motivations.
However, after the interview I never heard back, even after reaching out to request feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were standard, mainly about professional experience and motivations.
The HR person arrived 10 minutes late to the interview and spent most of time obsessively asking if I had my degree and certificates because they were gonna ask for copies. They said they would reach out again to let me know if the process was moving forward, and they ghosted me. Not that I wanted the job after this experience but a one-line email would been the right thing to do.
