A Cautionary Tale: Unprofessional Experience with Tata Elxsi's Hiring Process

I want to share a frustrating experience I recently had with Tata Elxsi, which I believe highlights some serious issues in their hiring process.

After successfully clearing all interview rounds and even starting the onboarding process, I was given a confirmed joining date. I went ahead and booked my flight to relocate based on this confirmation. However, just before my joining date, I was suddenly informed that the position was on hold due to "higher-level decisions."

This last-minute change caused me significant financial loss and disrupted my career plans, as I had turned down other offers and paused my job search, trusting their commitment. It’s incredibly disappointing to see such unprofessional behavior from a company of Tata Elxsi’s stature.

I’m sharing this to caution others about potential challenges when dealing with this organization. Always have a backup plan and be wary of committing too early based on verbal or even written confirmations.
