I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Istanbul) in Jan 2020
Interview
I passed all the stages phone interview , exam etc. For the last interview I was gonna meet with one of the managers. I interview with a Turkish artificial intelligence manager. He was relax and I was relax. I worked abroad before. he asked me do I thing to go abroad again I said yes in a few years. The interview finished he didn’t say any negative things. He said nice to meet you see you etc. He played like everything is cool.
Then I talked with her for the result. The result was negative I said why. The reason they don’t want me is I am gonna go abroad in few years. Until the manager interview, everything was fine. Wtf they think I’m gonna work there for all my life, of course, I am gonna leave in few years.
When you interview just say what they want to hear. Lie all say I want to retire here.
All interview process wasn’t professional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All the question in phone interview and exams were here written. Actually, there was same question in exam and phone interview. Java and Linux questions.
It went smooth, 2 OA, 1 HR Call, 1 Technical Call, 1 Manager Call. All went well, they ask based on your title and field. SO get prepared for what you are applying for like which position you know.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies (Düsseldorf)
Interview
Getting an invitation for a phone interview was very unexpected for me given that my CV is not linear. The interviewer was incredibly disrespectful. I was shocked about how aggressively she talked to me. I have never experienced something like that. She was treating me like I did something wrong or like she was trying to set me up for failure? She said to me if the interview goes well you will hear from us otherwise you won’t. So not even a rejection mail.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Huawei Technologies
Interview
The technical interviewers were very professional and friendly, but the final HR interview was the worst HR experience I have ever had and showed a huge culture mismatch. It was borderline rude and felt like a one-sided interview rather than me also getting to know the company better. For example, she was really shocked that I asked about what she liked and felt could be improved at the company, said that it was a "strange" question, and that since she was the one interviewing me, she cannot provide any judgements about the company to the candidate. She also declined to share their salary range, repeatedly emphasizing that as the candidate, I should not be asking that and should just tell her my current/expectation. She even directly asked for the minimum I would accept.
I'm not sure if this is common at the company but candidates deserve more respect.
