I was upfront about my salary expectations from the start of the process. After completing three rounds of interviews and being told I was the lead candidate, I was contacted and asked if I could lower my salary expectations, as the hiring manager was only prepared to offer less than what had been previously discussed. This raised concerns about transparency and alignment within the hiring team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Zebra Technologies in Aug 2025
Interview
I went through Talent Acquisition interview, hiring manager interview and then it all ended after speaking with the second stakeholder. The second stakeholder is a power play and put my application in a situation to overtake the prescribed recruitment process. Perhaps my candidacy got caught in the politics and became collateral damage.
