      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AKQA (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Nov 2020

      Interview

      Very casual interview and had a good impression of the company. But then they simply ignored multiple efforts at correspondence and gave no feedback. How a company treats potential candidates reflects on how much they respect their employees as well. Lacks professionalism in their process
