A list of ethnic slurs on Indians that should be banned on Blind
Hey blind! I had a super bizarre experience when interviewing for Salesforce Mulesoft that I wanted t share. I was referred to a job at Mulesoft that seemed pretty dope, spoke with recruiter and told her that I was at the offer stage with another company and she assured me that she would be able to work the process pretty quickly and get me something. She did :) and I had 3 interviews in the span of 10 days that all went very well including the panel / presentation interview that Salesforce does. I get an email from the recruiter this morning to do a call and figure that I’ll be getting an offer. And she apologizes to tell me that they are going through a reorg, team really likes you and if your still on the job market I’ll be in touch with you in a couple of weeks. Like WTF 😳 This happen to anyone else ? TC : 🥜
Yes, reorg creates this type of things and roles get on hold for a time being. From wt u r saying, recruiter seems to be honest. Did she give an idea around how much time it will take?
She said a minimum of a couple of weeks but didn’t really know I saw them post a number of the same role that I applied for a couple of days ago on LinkedIn and the recruiter said that they put the role I applied for up too early :( Do you think it’s worth waiting around given the context?
Do you have other offers in hand? If not, there is no option other than waiting
She will probably call you in a couple of weeks but it is so 50-50 whether it will be for an offer, depending on how the reorg shapes up. Many roles get put on hold until a quarter out. She seemed honest, call her and politely ask. Recruiters at the company want to get you hired, they will work in your best interests and can hopefully be transparent based on what she knows is going on behind the scenes. If not now, she'll want to hire you next time.
Right I’m just pissed since I went through all of the work :( seemed weird because they posted new roles for the same role I was interviewing for… I personally think they just put the role up too early and wanted it to be for next quarter but I really have no clue
Don't read too much into new roles being posted for the same role for which you interviewed. In my org we have the same evergreen job description for all the SWE roles. Your hiring manager's role might be frozen but their colleagues probably have open roles and are going through their own recruiting process. Could even be a different recruiter.
Could you please share your panel interview experience?
I needed to prepare a presentation/ slide deck and present it to hm and one of his colleagues it required a lot of annoying prep
Not uncommon, keep looking and may be you can negotiate higher salary when they come back you. Cheers on the good feedback from Mulesoft
Do they always come back ?!?! Lol
Not always. DoorDash did the same to me and didn’t come back. We did it for my team and hired a guy 3 months later and by the time the candidate had good offers accumulated. My advice is to keep looking until you find a good position and company you see yourself thriving.
