I have for the past couple of months gone through really pathetic and exploitative behaviour of the Indian companies (especially startups).
They ask to do extensive assignments, wasting a lot of time, just because they have an upper hand
Then they completely ghost candidates with no response (most times) / delayed response
This is really pathetic. Lack of empathy just shows how immature and under-developed you are. If you ask someone to invest their time, you have the responsibility of timely and proper communication.
ALMOST ALL STARTUP HIRING MANAGERS AND HR TEAMS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS.
