Kuala LumpurPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I experienced a more negative, confusing interview journey for the Consultant role, where communication and pacing issues hurt the process more than the questions themselves.

Pre-screening call / HR chat — I was rushed or not given enough time to fully explain myself, which made the conversation feel one-sided.
Planned next step that didn’t land well — In some cases, I was told I would move forward but then I didn’t receive the next contact, or scheduling became stalled.
Role-play with limited preparation (when included) — Where a role-play was part of it, I had very little prep time, and it threw me off.
Follow-up gaps — I experienced being effectively ghosted or getting no response after sending requested details. Outcome: No offer,
