I got a verbal offer from SRI - bangalore, with a decent 30% hike on my current TC. Due to the bad economy, I didn’t negotiate and was satisfied with the increment. Then the HR asked to wait for a week or two for the offer letter, but in the end they started ignoring my calls and ultimately sent a mail stating the hiring process went on hold, so don’t expect an offer for now. I wanted to know what exactly happened out of the below possibilities: 1) They are lying and they already got someone with lower ctc for the position i was being considered. 2) They are telling the truth and there’s really a hiring freeze happened in last couple weeks. And once that freeze is lifted i can get the offer. (Samsung blinders please provide some insights on this) 3) They’re lying because now they could not offer the verbal ctc they communicated earlier. TC-27.5 Yoe~4 The position was in cloud division of sri-b #samsung #samsungelectronics #samsungindia #srib #softwareengineer #softwaredeveloper #layoffs #layoff #rescind
Most likely they got someone who accepted a low CTC. Also life at SRIB sucks. So you will be okay with any other offer
This gained to my friend a few months back, just be happy that you dodged a bullet. Most toxic workplace ever among all the MNCs
Your notice period?
It's true regarding hiring freeze , don't expect an offer.
I faced the same situation. Though I got the offer from Suse and just before 2 days of joining them I was informed that my offer was rescinded due to bad economic conditions. I had resigned from my last org with no alternate offer in hand. It's good that they rescinded even before you resigned. From credible sources I got to know another candidate with less ctc was hired for the same position and I was given the reason of bad economic conditions. You better stay away from such shitty companies and be happy you just doged a bullet.
Oh man, that's just evil. There should be a special place in hell for HR people. Companies don't face any consequences for such shitty behavior. And people get blacklisted when they renege on their acceptance.
