HR > Hiring Manager > Case Study w/ Hiring Manager
The reason for my bad review is simple: It took them more than 1 month to get back to me after presenting the case study. HR went radio silent after that last interview. I then reached out the the hiring manager after about 2 weeks. Did not hear back from her at all. Reached out to her again a week later. Got an evasive response and that I should hear from HR soon. It took them again about 2 weeks for this 'soon' to actually happen.
It's frustrating and puzzling to see how companies expect highly skilled individuals to keep being motivated and come back looking for job opportunities when they communicate so poorly. Even more surprising: the fix to that problem is easy. Just communicate regularly and transparently.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard stuff. Case study was rather unspecific but this does not come as a surprise given the scope of the role.
I was contacted by a recruiter with whom I met, then the hiring manager. Everyone was professional and brief. There was not a deep level of conversation with the hiring manager.
It took about a month and involved several individuals from various departments. It was fair and objective throughout. I would recommend and believe that it was executed in a timely manner.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at adidas
Interview
- Recruiter screening- 121 with Hiring manager-Case study - One more interview with the team. Extremely unorganised and unprofessional behaviour by the interviewee and HR. Role paused, ghosted, recruiter not responding-etc

Question 1
The team had no idea about what they wanted to do. Hence questions were around " tell us how you did x in your previous company"
