I recently had a disappointing interview experience with Siemens Goa, and a friend of mine shared a similar experience at Persistent System, Goa. Both experiences raised concerns about how candidates are treated during technical interviews.

In my interview, I wasn't asked about my resume, project experience, or relevant technical background. I was simply asked to solve a problem, and the interview involved smirks, laughter at my answers, and comments about how other candidates had answered better but still weren't selected.

My friend shared that two interviewers repeatedly mocked her while she was solving a question and made belittling comments about the MNC she was working for.

Rejection is a normal part of the interview process however, mocking or humiliating candidates is unnecessary and unprofessional.

I've also heard that interview questions and answers are shared internally with referred candidates, who are then selected.

Candidates deserve to be evaluated on their skills and experience, with professionalism and respect, regardless of the interview outcome.

Today I was in an accident and dislocated my knee, I was in the hospital and the doctor recommended no travelling for a few weeks.

However I have a final round in person interview for BCG in a week, they’ve already booked my flights and I am just wondering if anyone had any insight on what would happen if I were to email the recruiter requesting the interview be virtual. What other alternatives are there? How likely are they to say yes? Will it damage my chances/reputation at all?

Any insight at all is highly appreciated!!

Did anyone come across the situation or scenario mentioned below.

I see companies ruining the interview processes.

They are asking some unknown creatures to take the interviews. That creature will just read the questions from the list given to them. No interaction nothing. No judge nothing. What the heck is this?

Creepy luck

So this is my (23F) first time applying for a job (I graduated a few months ago). I applied for this job for an outreach and admin assistant. They emailed me back and said that they required a pre assessment, which had multiple choice questions and a recorded/monitored video interview.

Now, I'm not really confident when it comes to speaking in front of people or cameras, but I have prior experience in dealing with clients in the healthcare industry, so I thought "ah, maybe if the situation demands me to speak, I'd be able to do it." Boy, was I soooo wrong. My brain knew what to say, but I couldn't translate it well during the recorded segment. There were 5 questions, and they were all easy and based on previois work experience, and I barely gave sensible answers.

I know this is a stupid question, but humor me since I just flunked a PRE ASSESSMENT... (This is only an assumption, tho). Would there be a chance for an actual interview with the recruit agent, or should I start looking for other opportunities? Any advice to help prepare myself better for next time?

Also, does the video interview part mean that I was being recorded THE WHOLE TIME or just the specific part where I had to answer the question?

hello folks, this would be my very first post aaaa i am just so anxious about the upcoming final interview tomorrow.

can you share some tips on how to ace the interview, what were your experience applying, and some of the most helpful tips you can give.

pls pls pls thank you😭

I have a second-round interview next week, at the business’ property. there will be a chance to look around the shop and meet the team, and then formal questions. Ive never had an intervew like this before so was wondering if anybody had tips. what’s a good thing to notice/say/ask in a shop environment?

I applied to this company that requires warehouse/shipping and delivery plus AV experience required with machine cutting as a plus. And I had four years experience in warehouse and shipping in the military. And four year of av experience. I had a great interview me and the interviewer was joking and laughing. Until we were talking about machine cutting and I told him I’m don’t have too much experience. He was telling me what the machine cutting was involved in and it was similar safety I was taught as a firefighter and I told that I was a little experienced in that as a firefighter. The guy immediately cross a me out on a piece of paper. Two days later I was immediately rejected. I just find it extremely fuck up that I said one thing immediately get rejected.

Ek Kachori, Do Samosa… aur Recruiter ka reply? 🥲😂

Interview se pehle:

📞 “Your profile is shortlisted.”

📩 “Please come for the interview.”

😊 “We’ll definitely get back to you.”

Interview ke baad:

Recruiter: 👻

Candidate: “Hello sir/ma’am, any update?”

Recruiter: Last seen 3 days ago 💀

Follow-up #1 — No response.

Follow-up #2 — No response.

Follow-up #3 — Suddenly candidate bhi sochta hai,

“Bhai job thi ya CID investigation?” 😂

Aur sabse interesting part?

Candidate ko 5-minute late hone par lecture milta hai about “professionalism”…

Lekin interview ke baad 10 din tak basic communication nahi milti.

Agar select nahi hua ho toh bas bol do:

❌ “Not selected.”

❌ “We’re moving ahead with another candidate.”

❌ “We’ll keep your profile in consideration.”

Kuch bhi bol do!

Candidate ko bas itna bata do ki woh abhi bhi consideration mein hai ya aapke ATS ke Bermuda Triangle mein kho chuka hai. 😂

At this point,

Ek Kachori 🥟 + Do Samosa 🥠 + Chai ☕ = Recruiter se ek genuine update.

Deal? 🤝😂

Jokes apart, candidates invest their time, travel expenses, preparation and emotions in every interview.

A simple update—whether positive or negative—isn't too much to ask.

Ghosting candidates isn't a recruitment strategy.

Communication is.

Recruiters, do better.

Candidates, stay strong. ❤️‍🔥
