Folks at ZS, how was your hiring process? I had an HR intro call and a case interview. Interviewer didn’t know next steps… what else should I expect?

Wait for HR to reach out - the interviewer doesn't know when / how HR will reach out as they are pulled to conduct the interview, they are not part of the broader recruiting process beyond that in most cases

It is much more dependent on how fast the recruiting team gets feedback from interviews and where they are available for a meet-up to discuss the candidate. Rejections are faster though

Hi Fishes,

Most important question:

1. I was on bench in my company since April 2022, So since may I was started looking for the opportunities for better pay but didn't got any offer still attending interviews.
2. In June 2022 i got know that I will have to work on 2 client's project which will be 50% 50% allocation on both sides.
3. I will be getting offer soon from one of the MNC, In that case what should I do?? Should I resign or go ahead with 2 client's project in my organization??

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
