He Doesn’t like complicated answers. He asks to the points in plain simple terms. Even when it comes to data or presentations, it’s literally in plain terms of how a lay man would understand. 
  
 He will definitely ask what can you do in the present situation and what needed moving ideas you bring to the table, that’s all

Which is good then! If you present a complicated thing is easy language, then you understand it well enough.

Product Manager

Director Sales

He is frustrated and has lost patience (doubt if he had any). Very rude and unwelcoming in his interviews and overall interactions. He is super defensive and judgemental. Insecure GM looking for validation via interviewee answers is a common sight. He is smart but his insecurity wins most of the times.

This is an interesting trend fully driven by VCs/board

How to be a toxic founder?

I have interviews scheduled for a sde 2 frontend role

Has anyone interviewed with WeWork India? How was it like?

Software Engineer

Any one has interviewed with Betterhalf.ai ‘s founder?

I just finished an interview with ServiceNow for a senior software engineer role and writing this up.

Anger rushed through my body after finishing the interview for multiple reasons.

reasons:
1. The interviewer joined 10 minutes late and he was very lethargic.
2. The questions he asked regarding my current job were very basic and then I realized that he should be fresher or should have 2 - 3 years of experience.
3. After the interview I checked his profile on LinkedIn and he was a 2021 graduate (as I guessed).
4. I don't understand why an organization assigns software engineers (2.5 YOE) as interviewers for hiring a senior software engineer(8+ YOE). It doesn't make sense to me.
5. Then the interviewer asked a basic DSA question, and I gave him the solution, now he was not familiar with the Python language hence intrigued about the implementation of the heapify in Python. I explained to him how Heapify works but still, he could not understand what it is.
6. The part I got pissed off is the interviewer's attitude of him knowing everything.
7. The interview was scheduled for 1 hour and we went overtime, it's okay to go overtime by 5-10 minutes., But this guy is taking more than 20 minutes. He din't have basic ethics of valuing candidate's time.

This is not my first interview with ServiceNow, this is my second and I had same feelings in the first interview as well.

It's okay for me to not grab this opportunity, but think about someone who is really struggling to get a job during this tough time, because of the interviewer being lethargic.

Hope ServiceNow focuses on their interviewing system and improves it.

ServiceNow interview is shit 💩

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I applied for the opening at JPL (Jio Pvt Ltd) in June of last year. Received the interview call on 4th July and concluded the entire process with the final HR round on 17th August (already painfully slow).

This was followed by a period of complete silence from the HR's end, which finally broke on 30th September (after probably 30+ follow-ups) when they gave me a verbal offer and gave me confidence for the final offer release within a few days.

Well, the final offer came on 27th December 2023, close to 3 months after the verbal offer (again, after probably 40+ follow-ups). Joined on 16th January 2024 (due to some emergency), and was treated to a GREAT campus in Navi Mumbai. --And this is probably where everything good with JPL ends.

After spending 2 days, I understand that things are not what I expected from any Product organisation, and that I made the wrong decision. 

Gave myself 30 days to ensure the feelings were backed by more experiences, and I'm not acting impulsively. Day 31, I started interviewing with other organisations, and fortunately was able to get in touch with the HR from another organisation that I rejected for Jio, and they were kind enough to resend the offer letter.

Dropped the bomb on 8th March 2024, startling everyone because people usually don't like leaving their comfortable lives at Jio. My L1 and L2 aligned on a 14 days notice period, but the "smartasses" in the HR department thought its a great idea for me to serve the entire notice period of 60 days, and thus I'm stuck here till 6th May 2024.

Opening the forum for people with any amount of experience to ask questions about the hiring process, the culture, the turn-off, the decision to quit, ANYTHING.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm a recent computer science graduate actively seeking internship opportunities in Product Management. I applied for a position at a fintech startup in Bangalore. After successfully passing the HR interview, they presented me with a case study involving an International Airline. My task was to propose and implement features to address the issue, which I complemented with UX designs. I advanced to the next interview round scheduled for last week, but no panel members joined the meeting despite waiting for 20 minutes. I contacted the HR, and they informed me that the panel was occupied and would reschedule. They rescheduled the interview for today at 4 PM, but at 3:50 PM, I received a call from the HR, notifying me that the panel was currently busy and rescheduling it to 6:30 PM. Just now, I received another call stating that the interview will be postponed to 12 PM tomorrow. This is only the initial round, with three more to follow.

I'm curious, is it typical for companies to follow such lengthy and multi-round processes when hiring interns?

Can someone share their interview experience at Google. Also, how is the pattern different from Microsoft?

How's the interview experience with KPMG for any senior developer role?

Recently got an opportunity with Groww as SDE-2, how's the job security?

Don't really want to leave family and move to Bangalore.
Also pay difference wouldn't really matter due to onsite expenses.

Want to understand a few things about PocketFM and would love honest answers

1. Company culture?
2. ⁠How is the company doing financially and what are the future growth prospects?
3. ⁠How is the leadership team? Do people have ownership or too founder driven?
4. ⁠What’s with the over hiring these days? Can it be a case of hiring and firing?
5. ⁠Should someone join in the India growth team - revenue retention and growth

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Job posting: Budget 20L to 2.5CR 
Translation: Isko laga daala to life jhingi lala...

Also goes on to say (on behalf of the Hiring Manager & Recruiter duo)..
1/ I am here to buy a car but am super okay with you selling me crocs
2/ I want to go on a world tour but don't mind getting stuck at Silk Board
3/ I am okay to hire an intern but don't mind hiring a CXO
4/ We just had our brains removed. We are still adjusting to this body

Also I am thinking 
- you could have as well started at 2 Rs and gone to 2500 Crore
- I so so so... want to see the interview process 
- Who are these 78 folks who applied.. 
- Onboarding kit possibilities range from Vim Bar to Gold Bar
- and ... Delhi mein hiring kuch alag hota hai kya??

Marinating in so much FOMO right now.. 🤦‍♂️

Hello. Is there any MoEngage PM here ?
Wanted to ask about interview experience.

Any MoEngage PM here ?

Hi fellas,

I live in Ahmedabad and i am right now jobless and finding new jobs!.

Many friends and relations I have living in Bangalore saying that you come to Bangalore and then you will search for job and get it from here.

The question is whether I should apply to the  Bangalore based company from here i.e. from Ahmedabad or should I go to Bangalore and apply to any Bangalore based company ?
