I applied online. I interviewed at Lenovo in Sept 2025
Interview
Initial call with recruiter and the next one is with the hiring manager and peer in China. Recruiter sends me a reconnect calendar invite a few hours prior which I thought was odd and starts asking me about how my hiring manager interview went- she thought I already had the interview. I get on the call and it's just the hiring manager but I was told in an email that the peer, who didn't show up would be driving the interview.
The recruiter then sets up another reconnect a few days later which is rescheduled for the next week and then she cancels with no communication or explanation. Incredibly unorganized and unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about my experience with manufacturing and technology like AI
I was waiting for the recruiter, but she never showed up. Happened twice with two different recruiters on two different roles. These happened within 2 weeks of each other. This is very disappointing from a company like Lenovo.
No Online assessment. I have just got a first round interview , which is a 30 minutes interview with Hiring Manager. And then wait for the response, which is a long time.
