A new trend going on... 💀

Nowadays companies tend to take 5-6 rounds of interview and One of my friends had gone through a similar procedure for 3 companies now- all into Fintech(one is a big MNC doing good and the other ones are startup) initially they moved forward with the CTC although they didn't have the budget and after 6 rounds of interview(5 general rounds and 1 to be more sure). I don't know how you cannot be sure of someone after 6 rounds of interview and why companies are not transparent about the CTC they can afford. It has happened to a lot of my known SDEs including myself. Just wanted to vent out, just because of the ongoing market conditions, companies are troubling the candidates a lot. Did you guys also have similar experiences?

@GrapeGodfather after having the HR round of discussion on friday, asking him to visit the office once to get to know about the product and people- one of my friends got a rejection mail.

One of the companies simply has put my profile on hold from January and on calling I get to know they are discussing my CTC. She is not even rejecting the candidature but asking me to wait so that they can get someone with a lower CTC than me.

I interviewed for 5 rounds at Amazon, including bar raiser in early feb. I was told that they are going to release offer letter. The next day I was told that they moved ahead with an internal candidate because he was in the same role in a different team. I was then told that bar raiser suggested me for a different role. Now the recruiter says that I'll have to wait for a month. They're not rejecting also. I'm fed up at this point. 😑 extremely disappointed

Just a proof that market is bad. I thought well known companies might not do this but @Bugs mentioned Phonepe so I am worried

Phonepe recently laid me off giving a bullshit reason that they can't even defend but I have moved on. They are hiring people who are good bargain or urgent requirement that's why their hiring has not stopped for 3 years. Btw internal cost cutting is going on.

I could have build a great career if I hadn't joined phonepe as I had good offers from reputed companies. I am still looking out and yet to find something.

Ohh thanks for sharing. My friend is in accounts team at Phonepe and he mentioned work is reduced but no layoff within the team so I thought things are smooth. Guess it’s hard to identify safe companies to go in
