Fragen im Vorstellungsgespräch bei MA Laboratories

I first spoke with the recruiter, and honestly this was the worst interview experience I’ve ever had. The recruiter showed zero respect. I mispronounced the company name because I didn’t know “MA” was supposed to be read in Chinese, and she immediately mocked me and questioned whether I had done any research. Honestly, when I apply to each company, it’s impossible for me to thoroughly understand all of their business, only a general idea. I applied for an Assistant Product Manager role, but when I explained my PM background, she said, “This isn’t a PM position. I don’t know why you even applied.” If it’s not a PM role, then why post a misleading job description and waste everyone’s time? She was impatient, unprofessional, and couldn’t even understand a basic question about team structure. Honestly, if this is the kind of recruiter they hire, it already tells you everything about the company.

The interview process and scheduling were sketchy and unreliable. In the first round, HR joined a video call with their camera off, asked a few basic questions about my experience and education, explained the role, and then brought up visa sponsorship requirements- which were fine, but the biggest red flag — they refused to share the salary range, which is required by California law. Even after I asked directly, they brushed it off saying it would be revealed later. The second round was on-site, and HR gave wrong timings (AM instead of PM) and no flexibility with scheduling — it was basically “show up or don’t.” The interview with the senior sales management went great; they were professional and respectful. But again, HR avoided sharing salary and benefits details despite being asked multiple times. For a supposedly experienced HR team, this was both disappointing and unprofessional. I declined the offer because of these shady hiring practices. If anyone else interviews with them, know your rights — California’s Pay Transparency Law (SB 1162) requires employers to disclose pay ranges in job postings or upon request.
