Why are job interviews like an exam these days? I recently interviewed with multiple IT service providers like TATA/Infosys/HCL. There was a group of people taking my interview and all their cameras were off but asked to turn on my camera. When I asked why is your camera off then, they replied that is how it's done. I was really disappointed with such behavior. It was not friendly environment at all. Interview is not an exam. The interview is the process of selecting employee and the employer as well. This was a demotivating experience. #hcl #tata #hcltechnologies #infosys #interview #IT #devops #softwareengineer #h1b
With Amazon virtual interviews, there is no way I’d interview anyone with my cam off. Bad candidate experience.
Not with any company. That shows how unprofessional they are.
Dude don’t go for Indian consultancy companies. There’s enough horror stories out that I don’t even know which one to pick to talk about here
Possible to share some?
You get what u buy. U were interviewing with the lowest of the scums. Why were u expecting any better?
The lowest of these scums are a big deal for a ton of people.
Anyone with their camera off when requesting yours on is a red flag. Interviewing process have turn into a joke lately in the post Covid world. It's now a hazing ritual since most hiring managers feel theres so many candidates in the pool they can do whatever they want.
I work for one of these scumbag companies. I know why they do this - they get a lot of fake profiles who turn to scam them at the same time the people who are doing the interviews are also forced to do the interviews - they just want to go through the motions and give the interviewee an offer so that they don’t waste lot of their personal time on more interviews. They are not very keen on showing their face because there is no incentive - the best case they can hope is that they suck so much at being a panelist is that they will not be asked again On the other hand, if you don’t have a job - take the offer and leave as soon as you get a better one.
What
yes that how it is.
