Virtual Interview with CMA CGM
I had a virtual interview with the CMA CGM Chennai team, where three panelists joined the call but kept their cameras off, while I was the only one on video. This lack of basic professionalism was unexpected. :|
There was also a clear disconnect between the role I was informed about and the expectations of the interview panel. One of the interviewers was unreasonably aggressive, questioning me on topics unrelated to my expertise. When I asked for clarity on my expected day-to-day responsibilities, the panel was reluctant to provide details yet was keen on extracting information about my current role and the tools I use.
An interview should be a two-way conversation, not just an information-gathering exercise. Experiences like these can impact an organization’s reputation, and CMA CGM should ensure its interview processes are structured, transparent, and professional. Feel free to share your thoughts on this scenario—I’d love to hear your perspectives!

I’ve had interviews like this too, where the panel was aggressive and didn’t share enough about the role. It makes you question the company’s transparency and alignment.

Interviews should be a two-way conversation. If they’re not clear about the role, it’s hard to gauge if it’s the right fit. If they can’t answer questions, it may signal internal issues.

Did they follow up with any more details after the interview?

In situations like this, asking directly about the role’s day-to-day responsibilities can help steer the conversation. If they’re hesitant to answer, it might be a red flag.
