No difference. Rating is submitted right after the interaction and well before I’d see a thank you email or not.

This isn’t how our ranking system works, it has absolutely no measurable impact

Well if I care about this after a full weekend, then there will be other stuff for me to reflect on than just the candidate…

Ratings happen immediately. Thank you notes are irrelevant to outcome.

No one thanks me after interviews. I really don’t care. I barely read the resume either. How they present them selves, problem solve and speak to their experiences is what is important.

Do any of you look at cover letters? I do and I realize I’m probably in the minority here.

Man how petty would you have to be (or think people are) to have lack of generic thank you affect an interview outcome

I always felt these artificial thank you notes so unnecessary, now I know why people do this...

like

Doesn’t matter at all

I think it’s a nice touch, but the rating is already done.

I would rather not get a thank you because I don’t want to feel obligated to reply

Hi recently I was interviewing few candidate for ML engineer and business analyst profile.
Got few candidate (total 6) schedule for that role on lever.
Took interview of 2 of them on day 1 and rest 4 on day 2.
4 out of 6 were from Mindtree.
And none of them were actually the one which they portrayed on resume.
They were liers, they don't even know basic sql, python forget about stats.
Have anyone recently faced the similar situation with Mindtree people ?
