Hi Folks, I submitted documents 2 weeks ago for BGV in Tech Mahindra. I have not got any response so far from HR. However, last week they scheduled another interview and dropped me email just before 15 mins, yet i joined the interview but no one joined from their end. Now, HR is not responding. What should I understand from this case? Am I rejected? Tech Mahindra Tata Consultancy
Hello All, I have been selected in the interview at NTT DATA and also submitted documents as requested by Recruiting HR. However , it's been a 10 days after docs submission but haven't received any call from HR for salary negotiation. On email follow up with HR, he said he is on it and will come back to me soon for further process. Any views.NTT DATA
Im losing sleep over this...

Hits way too close to home

Nope. You give the feedback they want to hear. You get nothing from being honest. They don’t care about your feedback anyways!
I did as an associate. Pay it forward and tell the truth.
I only give truthful feedback short of the potential to burn bridges. Just how truthful you can be varies depends on the organization, but always err on the side of disclosing less, rather than more. And it’s 100% legit to not give any meaningful feedback at all.
One time I did. Went on a rant to HR for over an hour. Got thanked profusely. However how that was filtered back to the partners by HR resulted in no substantive changes and only a few cosmetic items according to associates who told me after.
So did no good and had the potential risk to burn a bridge so … maybe keep it toned down?
Nope - they don’t care.
I witnessed it once at a smaller firm. The partners denied everything. Nothing changed. More women left, including me. No women have joined since (there is a really bad but accurate glassdoor review), so maybe it was the right choice. Also the firm might just be afraid to hire women again. I don't know that I'd take that risk at a big firm.

Don’t rant but maybe pick some things that could be improved and watch a video or read a book about how to give feedback.
Hard Conversations is a great book.

Yes of course.

I know of two associates were honest about a monster partner in our commercial lit department. They apparently spilled everything and literally nothing happened. Why bother?

Definitely not an issue of a lack of mechanism. It’s a culture issue. The partnership could fix these issues and chooses not to. At my firm, you’re only going to burn bridges by being honest in exit interviews because they don’t care.
