I applied online. I interviewed at et al GROUP (Johannesburg) in Sep 2020
Interview
I landed an interview at Brand et al, but before I agreed to take it, I went through my network and enquired if anyone had worked there or knew what it was like.
The response was NOT GOOD.
A former employee who had left after 9 months spoke of a toxic culture where work overtime is considered the norm. Staff are overworked and underpaid and those in upper management are narcissistic beyond belief.
The majority of employees are incredibly unhappy. I turned the interview down and I'm so glad I did!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I live in Johannesburg and the company is located in Pretoria. Before doing the interview I asked the recruiter whether remote work was possible. It was a firm no.
