I interviewed for a researcher role at RR Donnelly Holdings GK Japan.
To be honest, I should have been more wary from the start - I initially applied for another position (translation coordinator), but right after the assessment test was arranged I got a call from the recruiter who hooked me up with them saying that the role had already been fulfilled, but they had another position they were looking to fill, and wanted to know if I were interested in it.
The trouble started after the first two interviews, the latter which was stated as being the final - the hiring staff apparently had problems deciding who should make the cut, and after nearly two weeks asked me to go down to their office for an in-person interview.
Despite the dress code being business casual, there was one interviewer whose outfit, a T-shirt and baggy black pants, was anything but.
Despite having gotten glowing feedback from them after the first interview ("has all the required skills for the job", "no doubts that the candidate is qualified for the role"), the reason they gave for rejecting me after the second final interview was just simply "the role is not a good match". Confusing, disappointing and infuriating to say the least, especially after dragging the process out for much longer than it should have taken.
Would not recommend this company simply for their lack of sincerity and how they have no qualms about stringing people along.
