I interviewed at TOYOTA Connected Corporation (Chennai)
Interview
Very worst and unprofessional interview. I have cleared 2 technical rounds including leet code hard level. 3rd round with Manager and PO. The manager didn't join as he was busy. The PO just spoke for 10 mins and said will reschedule it later due to managers unavailability. In this 10 mins the PO comes to an assumption and reported to HR saying I didn't do much coding as part of my job (I cleared 2 coding rounds). HR rescheduled the interview a week later. Just 10 mins before meeting HR cancelled the interview and said the position went hold by telling the PO's feedback. It is hilarious to see an non technical PO is giving feedback about the technical ability of a technical architect (that too in a 10 mins partial interview).

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at TOYOTA Connected Corporation in Dec 2024
Interview
The entire process took nearly five months, and in the end, I was informed that the position had been put on hold. This was a disappointing experience, especially after preparing for and successfully clearing four rounds of interviews. All interviews were completed within the first three months, after which the salary negotiation phase began.
I had already shared my compensation expectations at the beginning of the process, and they were initially agreed upon by the recruitment team. However, during the negotiation, I was unexpectedly told that the budget had been reduced, and the offer could only reflect an 8% increase. After several discussions, we finally aligned on a mutually acceptable number.
Despite that, I was told for two months that the team was waiting on leadership approval to release the offer letter. Eventually, I was informed that the position was on hold.
This experience highlights serious communication gaps within the department at Toyota Connected. If there is genuine demand for talent, such delays and inconsistencies should not occur. I sincerely urge the management to respect the time and effort invested by both candidates and recruitment teams throughout the hiring process.
