Hearing rumors about layoffs at a firm on here and I want to address them in an interview next week. Bad idea to cite fishbowl? Another way to do it? Want them to know I’ve heard about layoffs.

A couple things. Do the rumors affect the group you are interviewing for? If so, then it seems strange that they would be still hiring if they don’t have enough work to support the current staff levels. To me that sounds more like performance related layoffs, which then have no point in being mentioned. Secondly, if the layoffs don’t affect the group you are interviewing for then don’t mention them.

I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May).

And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
