Very laid-back phone call, easy to talk to. Asked questions not only about background but also personal questions as well. Communicated about the position and expectations of the role
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cvent (Singapore) in Jan 2023
Interview
Apart from the Recruitment Associate being quick to respond and easy to communicate with, everything else was distasteful. After an initial screening call, I was scheduled to speak with the hiring manager, Went well however my expected salary was above what they were prepared to offer so they got back the next day that they would like to put me through another SDR role in a different product within the company so I had to be interviewed by the other hiring manager. Interview was scheduled for 2nd Feb at 6pm to 630pm. Waited 15 mins however no one joined the call. Reached out to the recruiter and she said the hiring manager is busy so we rescheduled to 6th Feb as a confirmed timeslot from their end. 6th Feb came and I was in the call and same thing happened. 15 mins passed and no one joined. Reached out to recruiter but this time she didn't reply me till next day and informed the same reason again - hiring manager was busy. I thought it is very disrespectful of candidate's time as I accommodated to an early evening time slot to cater to the time zone difference despite having to work in office. Thankful I did not take leave from work as it would be a complete waste. I chose to disregard the opportunity that Cvent had because it is not worth the time and effort. I recommend to skip Cvent. Bad culture from the get-go

Interview
I was reached out by a recruitment agency. The first conversation was with their recruiter who had a lot of positive energy and good info.
Then a Cvent recruiter that used to do the job. She was very good at describing the job and interview process. I am excited by the next steps in the process.
