F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG

I don't know what works well since for as long as there are other options I have decided not to go to Roche. My experience with this interview was the worst in my professional career.

I was invited for an interview about 4 weeks after I submitted my application in their online portal Workday. Due to Covid-19, the interview was conducted via Google Meet. The hiring manager turned up wearing a shabby looking polo shirt and his colleague in t-shirt. Worse, the hiring manager deactivated both audio and video and left the screen three times during the interview and while I was speaking. Then they ask several questions about my professional background and experience in which the answers were clearly in the CV. But the worst of it all was to ask me, how long is my notice period when perusing my CV would have revealed that I have taken a break since end of 2019. They barely have read my CV! I have never felt so disrespected before that I withdrew all my running applications for Roche in Workday the same day after that interview. 2 weeks after, I receive an email from them saying that my profile would have been excellent if not for my lack of in-depth practical experience and knowledge of SAP. Well, SAP was never mentioned in the job description, least emphasised as a go-no go criterion. But it did not matter to me whatever their reasons were, because I have already withdrawn my application in Workday. Aside from being unprofessional and disrespectful, these people and whoever is in charge of HR were also not talking to each other. The entire hiring process in addition to being slow, was an embarrassing revelation.

Every worker makes the company better, more beautiful and of higher quality.

Must do real work and always try to learn something new.
