one should not give a damn on the feedback. 
 focus should be to keep on giving interviews and cracking them and not try to seek a validation from someone else.  
 the only validation that u can get is by clearing interview that ur good for the role.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Post most of the interviews in software engineering there  is no feedback or its said they will communicate if they get some details. 

What are your views on the feedback. Should the interviewer provide it or not. 

I feel, especially for the take home assignments, proper feedback should be provided to the interviewee.
It should be mandatory not optional. ( Strong words but whatever )

Feedback or no feedback

Feedback or no feedback- Grapevine

Why these HR’s not ready to provide feedback after the interviews round .

I am not getting if candidates attended interviews for 1hr / 45 min /30min at least they deserve feedback doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative .

It’s better to accept negative/positive feedback instead of keeping hope . This is big demotivating for us.

It’s a request to all HR’s please don’t play with our times. And one question why you are more active before setup the interview and then act like dead .

As title says, I have resigned and my boss who is also the founder of the company has set up a 1:1 session with me. 
I was fed up of him because of his micromanagement and stupid asks. Basically he was just being a person who think if I have paid, I can ask anything from my employees. 

Now,  I wish to tell him all of this in 1:1 and say how he is not at all worthy to run a employee friendly company. 

Do you all think it'll be a good idea? Will it impact me in future in any way? Will my next joining be impacted by this?

Telling Boss how bad he was during Resignation

Don’t do that. Telling him all those things will get you nothing, rather he can screw up your exit, FnF, background verification. Just move on

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I went through 5 rounds of interview for leading agritech unicorn. Even went to their office for the final rounds.

For some reason i got rejected.
Is there a formal way to get feedback from the panelists or hr.
Already asked hr for any type of feedback but no response.
I feel like the HR in India dont value the candidates time and effort.

Apologies if i sound like ranting but strongly feel that we need to improve our ethics value of organization.

How should we ask for feedback post interviews?

Product Manager

Hello people,
We are building a recruitment platform to make hiring easy and fun. Having worked with a recruitment startup, we weren't able to hire for our own team. Hire first, fire faster mode ON tha humara.

So, we found this gap mostly in the early stage startups who don't invest in their recruitment properly.

So can you guys please share your experiences with landing a job with early stage startups.

Is it normal to get good feedback during the interview and the panelist explicitly mentioning that “you will receive a mail about the next steps from the HR” and then get negative feedback for the same?!

Design hiring process

Product Designer

Is it ok to give assignment as a recruitment process? Sometimes I feel it as a Fraud. Mainly companies with almost no presence on Internal. 

I received interview invitation from Nigeria based company. After first round they handed me an assignment of full stack project. Completing that assignment will take at-least 2 days and that company doesn’t have any presence on Internet. 

Should I submit the assignment?

Assignment as Interview Process

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi 
Wanted an opinion on how do you all tackle the assignment bit when it comes to assignments as part of hiring processes. One, how regular or normal is it at senior positions ? And two, I feel that a lot of times they just ask you to do everything that is expected of the job. Eg: Create a marketing strategy after analyzing landscape and top 3 competitors. Add graphs etc.
I always have a concern of getting most out of you. Since its at round 1 they would be getting multiple such assignments, which means by design lpt of this work will be a waste and lots of inputs freely sourced.
How do you all handle it ? Can you push back ?
P.S: Am from business/ marketing aide of things and not sure of how it works for techies/ product.

Assignments as a part of interview process

Brand Marketing Manager

1. In person interviews: initial coding round could be virtual but system design, bar raiser and further rounds must be in person only.

2. Some punishment for not joining after accepting an offer letter. There should be a time frame in which you can reject, after that pay some pre decided money. 

3. Transparent pay range, if not exact salary.

4. No work during weekends. 

5. Max one month notice period.

6. If laid off, pay severance same as notice period i.e one month salary. 

7. Pay candidates for the assignments done during interview rounds. 

8. Hybrid (remote+office) work. 

9. No fixed work timings. 


you already know the reasons behind all these points.

Senior Software Engineer

Recently I have been interviewed by a company and cleared the first round. Then I had 2nd round of the interview conducted through intervue.io which is a outsourced platform. The interviewer was least bothered to know what I am doing in my current role and how I can contribute to org but only conducted interviews by posting code snippet to solve. Do you think it is right way to conduct interviews? Please share your experience

Why companies have made interview so hard?

Lead Engineer

I've been given task of talking to few users every month, although i do it for the sake of showing it on paper, i don't find any real value out of it. 

It's an activity that just drains my time. 

I know what needs to be built, and have insights that hardly anyone in my org has. 

Do you really think it is that important?

Do you believe in user feedback?

.Dear community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out with a concern regarding my recent experiences in engineering manager interviews, where unfortunately, I faced rejections in crucial rounds.

To provide context, my attempts with ZSAssociates concluded with a rejection in the final round, Zscaler saw me rejected in the second technical round, and both Nferece and Browserstack ended with rejections in the engineering manager round – the ultimate stage.

I am genuinely seeking your guidance and insights. If there are areas I can improve upon or any advice you can offer to enhance my performance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your support.

The one who
- Keeps nagging with status updates
- Pushes you to achieve a goal which is merely quantitative & not qualitative
- Appreciates employees that show ‘first-benchers’ trait
- Junks your ideas to satisfy his own ego
- Pretends busy all the time

Software Architect

Hey guys.

While I know that there is this ridiculous practice of getting candidates who are applying for upper middle to top management roles to do an assignment, has anyone who has done that experienced 'being taken advantage of'.

The reason I am asking is cause I have done a couple of them (putting in decent effort and feeling quite confident) and got no calls in return. What makes it even more shady is that I don't get feedback even after asking for it a couple of times. There was once when I saw the same inputs that I gave being put in practice which infuriated me.

Any inputs?

Assignment for interviews

Project Manager

I know hiring tech is nothing new, but still many issues persist. 

We are planning to build a platform which will focus on solving many issues with the current interview system in an innovative/futuristic manner. 

We'll utilise AI/LLM based solutions wherever possible, although the focus is on solving the core problem.

Mostly it will be a B2B SaSS type, focusing on hiring designers/developers etc.

What are the various issues you have faced during your interview process which you feel should have been solved by now? doesn't matter how big/small it is, if it has bothered you ever, please comment about it.

[Startup Idea Validation] Hiring Tech

I've been asked to do a take home coding assignment and submit within 3 days, what are some things I should consider before submitting, and are they really worth it? My interviewer hinted they place a lot of importance on it

What is your opinion on take home assignments

So I just completed my first interview round with a company. And HR gave me a feedback while moving me for the next round. 

During the first round me & the interviewer were coordinating over whatsapp regarding the availability and timing. And in-fact at the end the interviewer told me to reach out to her or the HR in case I have any questions regarding the further processes.

Although i have got a feedback from the HR but should I still reach out to the interviewer for a 2-3 mins call regarding feedback discussion? Will it give a good impression?

Should I text my interviewer? Will it give a good impression?

Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

I had an interview with Accenture last week at the end of interview received good feedback from interviewer, it been a week now and still I have not received any update regarding same. I called the HR and she said to wait for feedback.
Should I consider it as rejection or still there is some hope?
