I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Snappy in Nov 2023
Interview
The negative:
- Snappy deliberately wasted my time going through the entire recruitment process. After discussing the pay, the HR representative said the company will make an offer within 24h. Later they changed their mind saying they couldn't make any offer at the time. Unfortunately, I had to forfeit another job offer for this.
- No information was provided about the recruitment process (n.o interviews, expected timeline etc.)
- Lack of transparancy
The positive:
+ The employee interviewers (including managers) were professional, well organized, respectful, and pleasant
+ The process was relatively quick, and mostly online
