I participated in a complete three-round interview process with this company, including a final director-level round. During this time, multiple HR representatives were changed. Once the process transitioned to the Indian HR, the delays became significant. After the technical rounds, I waited three days without any update and had to follow up with the previous HR. Only then was I told that the HR had changed, and the new HR took over. During this conversation, I was asked about existing offers and salary expectations. I shared my expectation which was noted as above their range, but they proceeded anyway. The next day, I had my director’s round, which went well. After two days, when I followed up, the HR mentioned that the round was good, but they were awaiting complete feedback. After another three days, when I asked again, the HR told me openly that another candidate was being interviewed, and they would decide after that. Essentially, my candidacy was delayed due to my salary range. Finally, a couple of days later, the HR casually informed me on WhatsApp, not through official channels, that the role was on hold and there were internal delays. Today, when I asked again, I was simply left on read. The entire process lacked transparency and professionalism, leaving me in limbo throughout.
