J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Huawei Technologies (İstanbul) en avr. 2021
Entretien
First I've received a test on a platform similar to Codility but it wants to access your camera and microphone. It is also recording the desktop. I've scored really good on that test and proceeded to the HR interview after that I've interviewed with a technical lead. After the technical interview another recruiter called me from Huawei and offered me to put me in another technical team with a different team. I told them I already interviewed with another team and waiting for the next step. She told me the first team I did interview was not really sure about getting another developer so they will not be hiring at this moment.
At this point I said okay than let's proceed with the other team and interviewed with the technical lead on the other team. I've passed this interview and asked to interview with a director for the department. After interviewing with the director I've received an email notifying that they will not proceed with me.
While this process continues I've received numerous calls from Huawei HR department for different openings and I've told them I have a process on going so I won't be able to start another one because Huawei doesn't allow that. They said okay we will get in touch with you if that doesn't works out. After the rejection I tried to reach my recruiter but no luck. No one is responding. I might be eligible for other openings but no one cares.

It went smooth, 2 OA, 1 HR Call, 1 Technical Call, 1 Manager Call. All went well, they ask based on your title and field. SO get prepared for what you are applying for like which position you know.

Getting an invitation for a phone interview was very unexpected for me given that my CV is not linear. The interviewer was incredibly disrespectful. I was shocked about how aggressively she talked to me. I have never experienced something like that. She was treating me like I did something wrong or like she was trying to set me up for failure? She said to me if the interview goes well you will hear from us otherwise you won’t. So not even a rejection mail.

The technical interviewers were very professional and friendly, but the final HR interview was the worst HR experience I have ever had and showed a huge culture mismatch. It was borderline rude and felt like a one-sided interview rather than me also getting to know the company better. For example, she was really shocked that I asked about what she liked and felt could be improved at the company, said that it was a "strange" question, and that since she was the one interviewing me, she cannot provide any judgements about the company to the candidate. She also declined to share their salary range, repeatedly emphasizing that as the candidate, I should not be asking that and should just tell her my current/expectation. She even directly asked for the minimum I would accept.
I'm not sure if this is common at the company but candidates deserve more respect.
