Capegemini HR kon hain yahi pata nahi 😂 I get calls from multiple people! I cleared first round and the next round they cancelled pos fild- Grapevine

Why is Capgemini doing fake hiring. I mean they are taking interviews multiple times. Is they really show casing the hiring of clients?
I have attended 10 times for Capgemini interview for plsql developer position in last 1 month. Everytime some 3ed party recruiter call me and take details ofnmy alternative email and arrange a call from Capgemini. And loop continue.
Why these PPL waste our time.

Capgemini fake hiring

Software Developer

I got offer from Capgemini, joining date is 31st May.
My last working day in current organization is also 31st May, I requested for next day 3rd June to Capgemini. 
It's hired for the HSBC client. 
I have put down my paper and now Capgemini Is saying I have to join to 31st May itself or the offer will be revoked. 
I tried to convince Cognizant my lwd was 3rd June so It preponed to 31st May still Capgemini HR is not picking up the phone and has no answer.

What Should I do?

HR is unresponsive

Technical Lead

I had an interview with Capgemini for BA profile around 23rd February. It went amazing. Got selected for second round. They asked for details like UAN card and previous salary slips and offer letters to schedule a client interview.

It sounded weird but I provided the details because I couldn't think of any way they can misuse the information.

It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard from them. 

Is this usual practice? Personally haven't come across such a situation before.

I recently applied to Indian Fintech, first round went well. Got no response from HR for 3-4 days. Once I called her on 5th day, she told me that I had cleared first round and they will assignment next day. Assignment didn’t arrive for 2 more days. HR stopped picking my calls. After this I reached out to third party recruiter (who started the process initially). She contacted this company HR and they sent me assignment next day. 

I had to complete it in 48 hour strict timeline. Spent entire 2 days on it and barely slept. I submitted it on time. 

After this no reply from HR for 4 days. Finally I reached out to my interviewer from first round for help. He said he will remind HR. 

Next day I got call from HR that all open positions are closed and we will consider u in future. No feedback on assignment was given. Not even sorry for making u wait. 

Isn’t the only thing HRs need to be good at is people handling & professional communication?

What’s the worst interview process experience you had so far?

Hi peeps, 

Given the wonderful places you all work in, wanted to request if people can share good roles available out there at your company/some place you know. 

I’m on the lookout to a switch, but I know many are, might be very helpful to have shares across diff companies and roles. 

Hope this is okay. Thanks good people!

Today got a call from HR manager and expect me to join early, if early release is not possible then they will drop/hold my profile. 

During last one month ongoing discussion HR was aware that I’m yet to resign, informed that official notice period is 90 days but negotiable up to 60 days, don't know why HR manager and HR are not on the same page🤷🏻‍♂️

How to convince for early release or delay the joining date? Please help.

Capgemini dilemma

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

After 2 weeks and 4 rounds of interviews, the HR informed me on Friday that I’ve cleared the last round and have been selected. S/he asked me to share some documents and told offer letter will be shared in 2 days. I waited for 2 days and called the HR today. Here’s the interesting thing, on calling s/he didn’t recognise me first and asked me which department I’m from, then asked to wait 15 minutes for callback as s/he was on break. Again waited for more than an hour and called back but this time s/he didn’t pick up the call. My question is should I be worried? Move on or am I being impatient?

Just some more info - I don’t have any other offer in hand and the CTC I’ve asked for 100% of previous (last appraisal in 2021) although it’s still less than what is being offered for senior role in current market scenario in Bengaluru. Could this be the reason?

Your thoughts, please.

Selected but no offer

Analyst

My contract was terminated last month citing restructuring.
Honestly, I saw it coming but wasn't expecting it would hit like this

I tried keeping my mind distracted, but now it has started to sink

I live with parents and they aren't saying anything (they were feeding me before and still are, no change for them)

I have had thoughts of ending all this, but do not have the courage. What if it ends halfway and I am redundant my whole life?

Credit card bills are coming through now and being 42% of my ex-salary wasn't something I was prepared for. I thought I was a sane spender.

How did you tackle being laid off?

Keep looking around, apply and eventually you're bound to get a good job I promise you. Just treat it as a numbers game. Ask your parents help with the credit card bills if you don't have enough corpus, there is no shame in that. You can give the money back to them when you're in a better position. 
  
 You're a nice person from what I know of you in this platform, you got this sis! Ending it all is not a good option for the people who care about you, and you're probably gonna look back later and smile and be glad for making it through

Gave 4 long rounds for Flipkart sde 2 position. Did a decent job in all rounds (according to me). Now I am getting ghosted. HRs are not picking my calls from the last 6 or 7 days.
Also saw a leetcode post today, the person had the same 1st round as mine so I think he got selected.

Feeling very sad because this is the 3rd company that has ghosted me after taking all the rounds.

HRs don't even have the basic work ethic to say yes/no on a 30 seconds call. Worst people I'd say

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

Need advice for the second round of technical interview at Accenture. Will it be telephonic just about the project or deep dive into the coding?

I gave an interview in the Accenture for a java developer this Tuesday with 4 years of experience.

The first round of the interview took almost an hour.

I received a HR call today and she was asking for availability for an interview. Even though she was confused that is this for second round. When I asked she said - yes , this is the second round with confusion.

Interview at Accenture.

This was my pathetic interview experience with Acceldata india with a very unprofessional and lying recruiter. This story has a satisfying ending.

I attended 6 rounds of interviews in 1 month and completed a take home assignment. I cleared all the rounds and even had a manager discussion about my onboarding. All good so far. 

Few days later the recruiter called back and said we need one more round (8th round) with the director who sits in US office. I said Ok and he scheduled this call on a Friday 10pm at night. 

At 9:55pm I tried to join the meeting link he sent but the link was not working. I tried in different browsers, different laptop, different internet connection. No luck. 

So I reached out to recruiter on mobile and he doesn't pick up. I know he's available because he was on call with someone else. I even tried reaching him via a different phone number but still no luck. Imagine the anxiety and panic I had to go through since I felt that it was my fault. 

On, next day he casually calls me in the morning to say that "Sorry I tried calling you 2 days ago but your mobile was unreachable (which is a plain lie). He says he cancelled the meeting because he found another candidate with lower salary.

That's fine, and I don't give a damn at this point. But I asked why didn't he send meeting cancelled email so I didn't have to panic on a friday late night. He casually says "Sorry about that". That's the last I hear of him. No response after that. 

All this after going through 8 rounds of interviews and a take home assignment. All because this a--hole recruiter lied to my face and couldn't send a simple email. 

Funny thing is: Another recruiter reached out to me 3 months later for the same role. Apparently the candidate they hired instead of me backed out at the last miniute. 🤣

If you get a chance to interview at AccelData, trust me, please don't waste your time. The company and the recruiting practises are not worth your time, even if you are jobless.

Don't bother interview with AccelData

This is EXACTLY one of the ways this platform is meant to be used. Call out the BS and NAME THE DAMN COMPANY. Dodged a bullet there OP.

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

Just say we need cheap labour. Btw guess how much I asked for.

In India, your expertise and seniority level is decided by your current compensation.

I saw a Staff Developer role and the recruiter's budget was 16lpa. They were looking for 10+ years of experience for that role.

Which company did you have the worst interview experience with?

Founder

Not able to get into HR rounds after doing well in technical interviews. 

Comp1: cleared 5 technical rounds.  They asked me to come in person for a particular date, informed me that date and time will be informed later. After a week got rejection mail. 

Comp2: Done well in the technical round. Profile was in process status  in the company portal for the last 45 days.  Today I got a rejection mail. 

Mera life ithna kharab hogaya.... Ithna kharab hogaya..
