J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Ascendeum en janv. 2021
Entretien
they ask me to make stopwatch using javascript hr was monitoring no tech guy and recording the video. i completed on time. shortlisted for round 2.
Round 2: HR asked me to join before 5 minutes of the scheduled time because the cofounder will take the interview so I can't be late. but the interviewer/co-founder joined 15 minutes late I had to wait for him with camera on.
He did not ask any tech questions at all because he was also not the tech guy he was just arrogant.
conclusion: - from the interview experience It seems they don't value employees' time and they don't have proper tech and management guy. just here to waste jobseekers time. i would not recomment this coompany
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
funny but no questions asked no tech guy interviewed i am not sure how they came to conclusion
Pros
The initial AI screening round was smooth and well-structured. The questions focused on culture and behavioral alignment, nothing too tricky.
HR outreach was professional and timely.
Cons
The final round with the founder was extremely off-putting. From the start, the interaction felt one-sided and dismissive.
Instead of a collaborative or insightful discussion, the conversation quickly turned into condescension and criticism of my past work without much context or willingness to understand it.
The founder gave off a strong superiority complex. Think “I’m the next Steve Jobs” energy, but without the humility or clarity to back it up.
Overall, the interaction made it clear this wouldn’t be a healthy or constructive environment to work in.
Advice to Management
You can build great companies without trying to belittle the people you interview. Candidates are evaluating you as much as you are evaluating them. Don’t lose sight of that.
