Platform Software Engineer (Taipei) Interview Experience - Taipei, Taiwan

May 1, 2014

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had only one interview. I was told to prepare a 20-minute presentation about myself in English. Three senior employees listened to my presentation and asked questions. The total time was one hour.

Few days later, HR called me, saying I could get an offer in one month because they had "procedures" to finish. Four months passed, and nothing happened. I received no email, no phone calls, nothing at all. I tried to contact HR (after one month) via email and phone, but without success. I guess the HR lady just vanished.

Questions

What project would I start, if I can do anything I want?

Was this helpful?
