Multiple phone calls, very unstructured, constantly rescheduling the phone calls etc. I was surprised at how unprofessional it was and disappointed in the process. Hopefully they have improved it now
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at eBay in Sep 2021
Interview
I joined the call and was essentially insulted and told that I clearly didn't read the job description when I had studied it for the days leading up to the interview. Left the call in tears.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at eBay (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2018
Interview
Applied for a role after seeing it on LinkedIn. Had first call with HR, who then promised to confirm date of interview. And it all went downhill from there.
- 2.5 month long interview process, very slow, primarily due to time lag between arranging subsequent rounds
- HR personnel here are shocking! I dealt with atleast 5 different people. No phone numbers provided either, so felt very impersonal
- No updates whatsoever through the process. Even when contacted to check, HR ignore emails and don’t bother to respond
- After all of this, had to chase for an update to be told weeks later the role had been withdrawn. Now I know this happens, but the right thing to do is inform candidates who have invested time, effort and energy into an extensive and drawn out interview process
The business people I met were lovely, but honestly the HR needs sorting out. They are the first interaction with prospective candidates, and they need to be acting in a more professional and thoughtful manner.
It’s as much about the candidate liking the company, as it is the other way around!
