I judge a lot based on how smooth the hiring and interview process is. If the HR is keeping me in loop in every round, if there are proper invites, whether the interviewer is late, whether they take time to introduce themselves instead of starting to fire questions at me like a labour and have a superiority complex. A good interview will always feel like a conversation and not a question answer round. Lastly whether or not they care enough to have read my resume in advance and also of they invite me to ask questions. Shitty places don’t realise interview is a TWO way process and I’m analyzing them too. If they fail at any of these metrics for me, I move on.

Rant about recruitment in startups

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.

What are some Green Flags in a company?

Enough negativity, what do you think are some green flags in a company that someone can look for before joining? For me, it is companies where interview doesn’t revolve around the interviewer questioning with a pre-defined answer in mind on some random DSA garbage they picked off Hackerrank. Someone who genuinely is interested in helping me understand the role, if I like the role and then spend time evaluating me on the work that I have done and quizzing me on that. It feels so refreshing to not be treated like a ChatGPT in an interview. A bonus point (and this is very rare) is an interviewing suggesting how to improve! So far, shockingly, I found this only with Infosys (2018) and Udaan (in 2017, I think). 😶 I might have gotten lucky with the panel in both places.

Bharat Pe - Culture check

So I received a call from a recruiter for a PM role at Bharat Pe. What seems odd to me is that the recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn at midnight and called me today (15th August) to schedule for tomorrow. Is it a red flag? I mean who’d do office work at midnight or on a national holiday. Am I overthinking? How’s the culture in general since all the drama that happened? Insights/Opinions welcomed.
