Agoda interview questions

First round: coding assignment on hackerrank, two coding questions and some mc Second round: interview with engineer. Self introduction, technical questions about front end like website storage/react, followed by live coding test

1) Resume/Cover Letter Screening 2) SHL Assessment 3) HR Screening Although I had gotten through the first two phases smoothly, what confused me most was the HR Screening. It was a 15 minute call with a Recruiter that was very responsive in their emails. The conversation was super casual and a breeze. What I will share with you all was that if you are planning to apply for a position with relocation to Bangkok and you are a foreigner, run. They will attempt to low ball you with the "cost of living" differential, but it is really just a lousy excuse in their negotiation repertoire. I likely got rejected because indirectly did not answer the salary question and instead had asked what their budget expectations for the role was. The Recruiter was visibly caught off guard and became noticeably defensive how the position does not pay as much as the industry standard in other countries. Succinctly put, while the process was smooth without much delay, I do not appreciate HR wasting my time, having me jump through a charade of meaningless assessments, pretend to offer the next steps with concrete language, only to provide me an automated response of rejection. If this had occurred from an actual professional in the respective department that I was interviewing for, I would understand. But an HR employee disqualifying me due to an alleged lack of experience in the field shouts irony in capital letters.
