I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Agoda (Bangkok)

Question 1
Initiatives I came up with. Size of campaign. Why want to move. Stakeholder management
I had two rounds of interviews with Agoda. My screening interview was pleasant (recruiter), but I found the second round very strange: The hiring manager wasn't present for the interview and I instead interviewed with someone parallel. They were rude and it felt like an interrogation rather than a mutual process. I was invited to the next round (a case study project) but I declined to move forward based on the second round interview. The process felt poorly organized to me, and I didn't like the vibe of the team during the second interview.
