I applied to Nexon Europe for the position of QA Coordinator, for which I held a Skype-interview with the Team Lead, as well as an HR employee. During this Skype-interview, I was told that I would be a better fit for the position of Localization Manager; I would, however, be tasked with a practice exercise for the Coordinator-position nonetheless, as well as a practice exercise for the Localization-position.

Despite the completion of both exercises to the supposed satisfaction of the evaluators, I was told that I would be a better fit for the position I did not apply for, the Localization Manager position, something which would however be held over my head for the rest of the process (I had to repeatedly answer questions as to why I was now applying for Localization Manager, and this application, though recommended by Nexon, was seemingly not taken seriously due to the fact that I had not seen the Job Description on LinkedIn, where I had found the QA Coordinator description).

Despite the apparent dissatisfaction that I had not applied directly for a position recommended to me by the company (and one which I had not known was even open at the time), the process continued on. I was called in for an in-person interview with the same two employees with whom I'd held the Skype-interview. As a result of the interview, I was told by both employees that they were very satisfied with my performance throughout the process, and that "if it were up to them, I would be hired".

Nonetheless, I was told I would have to have a further interview, this time with a founding member of Nexon. This would happen a few days later; however, the interview turned out to be a two-part interview, as I would also end up having to speak to a leading member of the Human Resources department in conjunction to the first interview. Throughout these four interviews (in total), I was repeatedly asked the same questions by these different parties, something which seemed a bit disorganized, given the fact that ample notes were taken throughout.

I was told, after these last two interviews that I would (not might) receive an answer the following day. The answer would instead take about a week to come, and it was a rejection; the rejection, however, was an auto-formulated rejection email from the Recruiting department, and thus incredibly unspecific. The email took the exact form that rejections usually take prior to ANY interviews, far less AFTER four interviews, containing cliche lines such as "While we were impressed by your background and experience, we have decided not to progress with your application for this time as we do not feel that your profile fully matches our requirements."

The lengthy process, which began to resemble a Goldman Sachs-type interview process with countless interviews and tests, seemed quite exaggerated for a relatively-unknown e-commerce company, and turned into (unfortunately) a complete waste of time and effort for myself, and, in my opinion, all parties involved. The reason given in the rejection email should have already been clear during the first stage of the process, and for lack of further reasoning (which I was not provided), should not have warranted for the process to drag on through various further stages as it did.
