Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
Hi Team,
I gave and cleared all the rounds for TCS. Post that they asked me to update my documents on their portal, which i did last week.
But till now i am yet to receive the offer letter from their side.
Can someone guide me on this?? Is it normal to take this much of time? Tata Consultancy

****EDIT — they’ve already hired a person for the position a month ago; and they’re looking for another one ✨
yeah ive had hiring managers say that yet keep the posting open. to me i take it as a way for them to reject me without rejecting me
“Different direction” can also mean the job itself changed (new area of expertise needed, new emphasis on one skill over another... these are common things to surface once you start interviewing candidates). So it’s not necessarily that there was anything you did wrong or could have changed. Go ahead and get back in touch with the recruiter to say you’re still interested if they think this new role could be a fit.
Hmmm curious, how many rounds of interviews did you do with them a month ago?
Your emoji instinct is right. Generally not a great sign.
If you’re 100% sure it’s a definitely a new role and not the same position getting re-advertised (I’m not sure how you could be certain of that...), you could reach out again and express enthusiasm. That could come across as proactive and driven.
But if it is the same role getting re-advertised, you reaching out again looks desperate and appears as if you have little self awareness. Would probs mean you won’t be entertained by this recruiter again. Not a great look.
The recruiters are sending out a wide net again, the rinse and repeat bc they know the talent pool is saturated. The also probably know the role has no urgency to be filled so they got the feelers out there with the first net cast. If I were you I’d update a few things on the book or change the order/appearance of a few things and apply to the opening. Worst case scenario is they know you know, but now they know you’re persistent.
EDIT: just read your edit, find out who was hired and see what they had that you didn’t and adjust your book a little. But that’s only if you don’t have anything else in the works, bc it would suck to make yourself fit into a mold that you’ll end up not liking in the end.
If they just posted the opening, you’re probably on a contact list after they sort through this next pool. If you reach out and nothing in your body of work has changed, it’ll be hard to sell.
Thanks all! I’ve decided not to pursue it any longer if it isn’t mutual on both sides 😄
Another direction frequently means another candidate. But it can also mean a deeper dive in the search.
Yeah, I’m aware of that! But they’re looking for another person this time on top of that new hire.
Just want to say that when I was first hired, my company kinda forgot to delete the posting. I know because a few friends applied after o got the job there and were told the position was already filled. Idk what happened but it just took awhile for it to be taken down.
