      Office Administrator Interview

      8 May 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Gift Republic (London, England) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      I interviewed for this role back in Jan/Feb 2021. The interview process was an initial 1 on 1 video interview and then a second round video interview with 3 interviewers. The first round was fine, the interviewer was a little stern and unpersonable but the interview flowed relatively smoothly, regardless. The second round was absolutely awful - two of the interviewers(including the woman from the first interview) were clearly playing 'bad cop' and asked the interview questions in the most degrading and belligerent manner. The role was a VERY LOW paid role for London, so to experience this sort of harsh interview was very surprising to say the least. I have experienced challenging interviews in the past, but this was different. It was actually demeaning and upsetting, with how rudely two of the interviewers behaved towards me. The salary offered is also unethically low - unless you are a teen living with parents, it won't even cover rent. But judging by their obvious 'high standards' with the interview questions asked - I assume they want a very experienced and skilled staff member, for a ridiculously low wage. I actually got offered the job, which was the most surprising in all of this! After making me feel utterly deflated and worthless during the interview - they contacted me very quickly afterwards to say they would like to offer me the job. I honestly cannot imagine what it would have been like to work in this company, but the interview was so distressing that I couldn't have taken the risk!! Very thankful that I received another offer the following day from a different company, so I didn't need to even consider working here.
