I did my PhD there, strongly suggest you only apply if you really love bureaucracy, internal politics, and never getting anything done. The pay is good and you get like every other day off, but it runs exactly like you’d expect a lab run by a consortium of academics from multiple nations would run.

I spent several years at Fermilab prior to CERN being around (yeah, I’m old). I would say that your enjoyment of the job all depends on the position. I was on the ops side, and enjoyed my time there. I have one physicist friend that left Fermi for CERN and has since returned. He loved his time there. I’ll ask if he has any tips.

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.
