Can mean several things, out seems some of the more unlikely options. Maybe they have internal rules of X candidates screened before closing on one, maybe the position is on hold, maybe budgetary constraints, so many things. Out hota to he'd be more candid. It well could be them marinating you before a lowball offer so you'll be easier to break down. Right now prep for the worst hope for the best, ek followup daaldena within a week.

Yes but it went from we'll roll out the offer this week to you will hear back in 2-3 weeks. Itna 180 degree backtrack is worrying me

It means that you're good but they're shopping to see if they find someone better/a better deal. You can take your chances or ask them to make a decision now since you've cleared the rounds and to be respectful of your time and hint that you want to make a decision soon. Be polite. 
 It's an employer's market, they're spoilt for choice, they'll keep you hanging if they think you're gonna wait around.

This happened to me. I got the job immediately on the day I went to take the interview. They were very eager to hire me. But due to some family issues, I wasn't able to join immediately, and I told them beforehand. 
  
 10 days later, while doing all the BG verification process, they made excuses like the referred person isn't picking up the phone, delaying by saying its in verification. After some days, I lost my patience and asked wtf is going on. And I just moved on from there.

They said they were interviewing some other candidates. In the meantime, I found another job in a better company.

What does it mean if the hiring manager tells you verbally that you're in and then later tells you that they'll have to interview 2-3 more candidates? Does

Interview process - 2 HR rounds, 2 manager rounds, 1 aptitude. (took around 3 week) 

I was like why God why? Why someone's second choice 😭

Feeling bad about it very bad.

Frustrated about not getting the job

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Around a month ago, HR called to ask if I was interested in the APM role. After following up multiple times for the interview, they said the hiring manager didn't like your profile. After 2-3 weeks, different HR reached out, saying they want to conduct round - 1 for the same team. The interview happened, and I reached out to HR after 3-4 days for the next steps, but she kept cutting my calls and completely ghosted me. I reached out to another HR, and she said the feedback on the portal was that "experience is not enough."

I was pretty disappointed as while conducting interviews, HRs reached out to me so many times, but they couldn't even send an automated email for feedback. 

But it didn't end there. The HR who ghosted me called again after a couple of weeks to schedule round 1 with another team. The interview went well, and the interviewer asked me about my availability for round 2 and when I could join them, etc., saying we would try to conduct the next round soon. When I reached out for feedback, HR kept saying I'll call you later. I'm busy right now, and then they ghosted me. After following up multiple times, she said the feedback wasn't positive. 

I hoped for round 2 here since the interviewer seemed convinced and contented with my profile. Now, just because I reached out 10s of times, they told me that I have been rejected! 

How much time does it take to send an automated email? :/

Cars24 APM Interview - Worst experience

Product Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I've recently appeared for the Interview at Apple. Total 7 rounds and last round was with the HR. Till 6th round feedback was quite positive and in the 7th Round there was discussion that happened about Salary expectation. HR mentioned that she will check and get back with approved numbers and If I'm okay then they will proceed with releasing the offer letter. So I was expecting the same.

But One week later HR called and rejected me saying that another Candidate is selected for this role. I was heartbroken and devastated. When I asked for the feedback, She said they cannot share the feedback it's just that they felt another candidate is better fit than me so they are going ahead with that candidate. On the very next day of my rejection call, they opened the Same position again in the Careers site.

After 2 weeks again I called the same HR to understand If I could apply for the open position. She said that the Careers site it posted wrongly, the open position is not for my experience but it's for more experienced/senior Level. I could think that HR is not being transparent. This time again I asked for feedback, what went wrong or what could have been better, to which she replied that I was not clear on certain things and I was not transparent.

Background is : After 6 rounds were done, HR called me suddenly one day and informed me that I cleared all the rounds and asked me for the expectation. I thanked her and asked about the Role (IC3 or IC4 or IC2) that I would likely get So that I can do some research and get back.
She said she doesn't have clarity yet on the Role and mentioned mostly it would be IC3. So I asked her for some time to get back and 2 hours later I discussed my expectations. 
Then a week later, the Rejection call.

Not sure what went wrong. In my most recent call she mentioned that for some simple questions like expectations I was not giving answers properly. It's been 3 weeks and I still could not come out of that rejection.

Rejected After clearing all the rounds at Apple

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I gave my 3rd round of interview on last Friday and it went very well. I was told it was the last round and I was looking forward for an offer. But recruiter is telling me from the past 3 days that she hasn't received any feedback still and she should receive it soon ( the guy who took my interview was from US team). Is she bluffing?

Recruiter Ghosting after 3 rounds of interviews

After 5-6 interview rounds, 2 assignments, in-person chat, I was told "we have decided to move ahead with another candidate". They took more than 2 months to come to this conclusion.

When someone signs up for a job at your company, please realise they are also spending time reading about the company, learning, working on assignments, prepping for interviews one after another. I understand, you need the perfect candidate but if you trusted someone to appear for so many interviews and then decide to move ahead with "someone else", without any explanation whatsoever about what really went wrong, it is extremely disappointing.

Be true to the candidate.

Plotline Interview Experience

Account manager

I currently have a job where I can be laid off anytime. I started attending interviews with other companies. To my luck I got selected in a company, interviews were done and final documents were submitted. HR said only the offer discussion round is pending. He said it will be done on Thursday but no response. I followed up on Thursday. He said Friday for sure and no response on Friday too.

 What should I do now ?
 How often should I follow up?
Have you faced a similar situation how did you overcome

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I recently gave interview with Uber and completely case study round. It’s been 15 days and o haven’t heard from the recruiter yet. No response to calls or emails.

Am I still in considered? How should I proceed forward?

Anyone gave uber SPM interview ?

Hiring manager cancelled the position after 3 rounds of interviews, giving me false hopes. They told me it was the last round and made me wait for a week just to tell they are hiring an internal candidate.
