I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hello Straw (The Hague) in Feb 2026
Interview
An utterly unprofessional experience: the interviewer lacked basic manners—no self-introduction, not even a glass of water, and conducted the session with a condescending, biased attitude that felt borderline discriminatory; don't waste your time if you expect a respectful, equal professional environment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviewer appeared to be reading my CV for the first time during the meeting and asked irrelevant, borderline invasive questions such as 'Why did you come to the Netherlands?' and 'Do you speak Dutch?' despite the JD explicitly stating it’s an English-speaking role and my background being clearly detailed in my application.
