Entrevista
I applied for the post online. A week later, a HR person contacted me to arrange for a written test. I passed it. Then HR told me to prepare for the interview by coming up with innovation ideas for the site's localization in traditional Chinese. I prepared a small presentation and sent it to HR to ask her to forward to hiring managers. Three hours before the interview, she told me she made a mistake in the email. I should make suggestions to the simplified Chinese site...Anyway, I managed to send a new version. In the interview, two senior language specialists, one face-to-face and the other via Internet, asked a series questions based on my resume. They were very nice and professional. But I didn't have a chance to talk about my presentation. The questions were very basic. Introduction. Why booking? Why translation? Why a team player? ...

What's your career path? How do you react if your opinion is ignored?
I've applied via their website and did two rounds of interviews. The first one was with someone from the HR and then the second one with a stakeholder.
The first one, HR was late 15 minutes and started the meeting telling me the vacancy was not available anymore - they decided not to hire someone. But them they suggested I applied to a senior position... and I agreed.
They schedule the call in the middle of my vacations, and I connected from my phone. Had an okay interaction with the stakeholder for 1h or more, simple questions, nothing complex.
I understood this was a behaviour interview, as the person was not from my field.
They wrote me a couple of days later saying they wouldn't follow with my process, although I was a cultural fit - they wanted someone with "more experience in complex projects" with sounded absurd at that point, when they didn't evaluate it.
This plus the sloppiness of the whole process let me quite disappointed.

How do you leverage the difference between language A and language B?
During the appllication process, you need to take a translation test. If you pass, after the recruiter screening, there are two interviews: one with the team and the other with the hiring manager.

Informal interview, professional but friendly atmosphere. Communication was smooth, invitation via email, prompt responses, flexibility in setting the interview date. The process included a test and three rounds of interviews.
