      Business Development Manager Interview

      11 Mar 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Berlin
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alibaba Group (Berlin) in Mar 2021

      Interview

      At the beginning, just after I applied for the position, I received a direct calendar invitation for interview without any former availablity check. The given date was not proper and wanted to change. I didn't get any reply to my e-mail and received a call on given time. I couldn't take it. Later, the recruiter answered my e-mail and asked for a suitable slot. Once my interview with Hiring Manager was fixed, I received a prep. call from another HR. During prep. call, I asked if German language is required for the position or not and she said no, it is not a problem. The job posting were posted in Germany where I live but under requirements section, needed language was stated as German OR Turkish. Finally, after many emails and a prep call, during my interview with Hiring Manager, it came out that, German at a native level is a must for the position. Only 1 job posting was publised for 2 positions, a Turkish speaker based in Turkey and a German speaker based in Germany. I feel really sorry for them working with HR people not able to read candidates' resumes well. Please do not forget that, candidates' time is not worthless than yours.

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Alibaba Group in Jun 2022

      Interview

      Interviewers not turning on their camera. It is quite weird cause I am turning on my camera. I feel like I am being interrogated inside Police Station. For Chinese Interviewers, they speak Mandarin & seems not quite understand English.
