Is that the same company that hosts react India and react Bangalore? I still not able to comprehend exactly what they do 😅

They are a web agency, they also have some open source projects like Native base

So recently I interviewed at Geekyants and it was horrible. 
 I mentioned about my existing offer and what I wanted before the start of the recruiting process.

So recently I interviewed at Geekyants and it was horrible. 
 I mentioned about my existing offer and what I wanted before the start of the recruiting process. They took a communication assessment, a coding assessment, two technical assessment and an HR assessment only to give me an offer of 8 lpa ( lower than the offer I had ) with freaking 18 months of bond. 
I remember mentioning that the offer I have is time bound and would appreciate if they fasten the process, I think they thought I would accept their offer given my urgency. Shit behavior.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently got an offer from a seed stage startup for a SDE2 role. They shared the offer in a 2 liner mail. Weirdly enough they have a probation period of 3 months which could also be extended to 6 months during which there'll be no paid leaves, nothing, and you cannot be late to the office any day.
I asked them to share the detailed offer letter with all these verbal probation clauses penned down and they've not replied for a week.
After getting the offer, they asked me to submit my adhar card, pan card, 10th, 12th marksheet, graduation certificate, passport, birth certificate, payslips, previous offer letter, resignation mail, proof of bonuses and all sorts of documents. 

It's funny how they think trust only works one way. I've withdrawn the application as there were too many red flags during the entire process. I really wish the Indian corporate system had an open culture where trust is bidirectional and not act like we're at the mercy of their job.

Funny interview at a startup

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I interviewed for a US-based company, the process started during the last week of March. The process took a month to complete, and the final round took 2 weeks to get scheduled since the director of engineering was not available. 

After all rounds were complete, it took 2 weeks for the managing director to call me and tell me about the offer.  This happened after I had to call the recruiter and ask him for updates. 

Since then the recruiter has taken some details in the past week and they made me sign a NDA. I called on Monday and they said they will release the offer by Wednesday as it's getting approved in the US. Now the recruiter is not picking up my calls. 

All this time is making me think that the recruiter is possibly considering other candidates and keeping me on hold just in case.

Do you think the recruiter is ghosting me or not taking my candidature seriously? How should I proceed? 

Thanks!

Recruiter taking a lot of time to release the offer

Google's hiring process is so shitty , I have already been through 8 interview rounds and spent a whole year in the process but still yet to get a confirmed outcome result. What is wrong with these people, half of the interview rounds didn't seem justified for the role also. Almost every time the recruiter says this is the last interview then the hiring committee recommends another one supposedly "to fill the gaps ". Seems like an elitist process being followed to sastify their egos.

Why is Google hiring process so shitty?

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

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I cleared all 6 rounds of a PM interview with an Edtech startup.  The HR asked for current offer letter, 2 references (current and previous manager), and a couple of other docs. 

Then ghosted me for 2 weeks. When I followed up, the HR said they are in-process of interviewing other candidates

Is it normal to do this now a days? 

I understand the company wants to interview more people. But then why ask for any details from me till you are sure that you are going to give an offer
