Unscrupulous with their approach to hire.
Firstly the GRM (PMP ji) was sceptical on my candidature for their location. She asked for a email written on actually accepting to work in particular location post Covid. Being a global company it looked cheap for asking to do this. This review I'm just writing down to make ION group understand that I was serious about this job.
Round 1 was easy, interviewer was interacting and peer programmed as informed before, pointing out at mistakes and helping to get output. All 6/6 questions was solved. I was really happy end of the interview. Cheers to the interviewers spirit.
Round 2 was of medium difficulty the interviewer never bothered to interact much. Replied only when I asked. But most time he was muted. In the middle of interview, I genuinely had an internet connection issue. I tried hard to get back but whenever I typed, it never was persisted and was resetting the programming window, it was stressful situation. Which the interviewer understood and asked if we could reschedule some other time. Thanks for atleast assuring that.
No update days.
For 3 days I didn't hear back from HR. I emailed and stated that, we had an internet outage and interview didn't go as expected. Interviewer asked if we can reschedule but I didn't hear back from HR team.
Rejection:
If they where professional they would have got back with alternative, But looks like already they found out I'm not fit for this position. Which felt like they where being judgemental and roguish.
My verdict:
Since most meetings were in US time zone. It is understood that we may have to work during this time atleast for sync ups. There were multiple cancellation and urgent meeting postpone events on fixed meeting throughout the process which felt, they are not sticking to time and are not serious about candidates time. Well everything happens for good.
