The interview process was not very professional, it was more like a questionnaire or survey of questions which had to be answered. The interviewers just shot questions like whether or not you used their app? (come on, you may know about it, but who said you had to use it?) They didn't seem too happy when I told them I don't use online dating. The questions were sharp and they demanded that you suggest a strategy on how to develop a market for their product. Why would anyone share a strategy or idea with them prior to being hired?
I read some good things about the company before I accepted the interview, but was very disappointed by the quality of professionalism who conducted the interview. Maybe because I seem older than them, so they couldn't contribute value to the talk? Not sure, but overall, I doubt I would accept the job anyways, even if they paid me more...
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Hyperconnect
Interview
I was contemplating after reading the negative reviews here, but I went to the interview anyway. It was amusing, to say the least. The HR confused me with another candidate (but she was nice, at least), and the person whom I meant to meet ended up being late for 20 min. It was probably the same person mentioned in the other reviews - unprofessional, opinionated, and rude, and couldn't even properly define the role and their expectations.
The position I applied to has been up for 3 months already, and I can totally see why. I can't imagine anyone who would want to work alongside someone like this.
Bottom line: don't waste your time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to map out a market entry strategy for a new, yet to be released product. Unfortunately, no one really explained what the product is and its value proposition.
The manager was rude and unprofessional. No chance to finish my sentenced. Repeatedly asking the same question over and over again to hear what this manager wants to hear... sort of rubbing it in if you can’t get the right answer. And many more..... Very rude. The worst interview I’ve ever had. The HR person is nice though. She’s friendly and all.
