I applied online. I interviewed at SC Johnson (Johannesburg) in Oct 2025
Interview
Interview process was fair. However, no feedback in over two weeks after the interview. However, upon following up, there was no response from HR team. On the platform, the application is still reflecting as under consideration.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SC Johnson (Kuala Lumpur) in Jul 2025
Interview
I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn to apply for a role and was asked to complete a case study before the first interview. The process involved three interviews (Hiring Manager, Director, HRBP), all of which went well. Afterward, I was requested to provide references and payslips, and my referees were even contacted.
Despite being told I was a top candidate, the company repeatedly delayed feedback over a two-month period, asking me to “wait another week” each time I followed up. Communication was inconsistent and lacking transparency, which created false expectations and wasted significant time.
While I respect that hiring decisions can be complex, this experience left me questioning the company’s professionalism and candidate care. It’s a reminder for job seekers to carefully evaluate how a company treats applicants as a reflection of its internal culture.

Someone from the talent team reached out to ask about my availability for a phone interview. I sent her several time slots covering a full week, but she never got back to me. I then forwarded my message to other people in the talent and HR teams, but none of them responded either. I'm starting to wonder if this is a pattern at this company.
