Alion Science and Technology, anyone? A friend just interviewed there, and I’d never heard of them. Thanks

My guess it's another beltway bandit defense contractors with 3-3.5 out of 5 rating on Glassdoor

Part of the Veritas portfolio like Guidehouse

Neither. Just a fact.

They used to work for me when I was military and then after I retired I had an offer from them in hand (all legal, no conflict) while interviewing with Deloitte. In the end I choose Deloitte because it was going to be more different from my military days than Alion and the contract they wanted me for and at the time Alion had some financial difficulties so it felt risky after 20 years of stability compared to Deloitte.

I really did consider them over Deloitte though, and their offer was less.

They treated their folks pretty well and from all the years I knew them they seemed like a good company doing good work.

Thanks. Appreciate the thorough reply.

I’m actually trying to get my friend hired at Deloitte but it’s tough as he’s not cyber (retired armor officer), and most of the folks I know are cyber

Hmm yeah that's tough but not impossible. What did he do in his final years? Was he at the puzzle palace? Command of an operational unit? Happen to get his Masters? Clearance?

Also can't hurt to get some experience at Alion and then leverage that for D. What are they hiring him for? And of course what does he say he wants to do
?

Hello Fishes,

I had given interview
Mindtree and cleared both technical rounds. On Tuesday 29 March 2022, I got a call from HR for the final discussion. After that I have not received any response.

I have been calling the HR and her manager, both are not responding to mail or calls.

Is there a way to get some information if my candidature is still in progress or is this delay natural? I have another offer from another company, but am more interested in joining Mindtree.

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.
