I sent an online application and got invited to take an online assessment, which I took within the stipulated timeframe.

I heard back only a month after taking the test, asking for my availability for an online interview, to which I said yes.

The interview took place over Zoom. There was the linguistic team leader and two other game testers of my native language. The interview was not good. They didn't seem to like my answers at all, and they looked awkward. They also made me feel awkward with their silly grilling questions.

They promised to give me feedback after the interview, but I never got it. According to LinkedIn, they hired a non-linguist native speaker instead (I'm a linguist with a degree).

After five months, they posted the same job opportunity but never asked me about my availability until after two months from the repost. The hiring manager rushed back with a number of calls and an email, finally asking me if I was available.

Obviously, I wasn't interested any longer.

The hiring process wasn't professional at all. I never felt good or an interesting candidate for them at any point of the process, until they ran out of suitable native speakers.

I recommend looking into this and making some changes if they want to have a supply of suitable native speaker candidates in the future.

What would you do if the company gave you a physical game to test during working hours and you lost it?
