I attended an interview at Publicis Sapient for the position of Application Support Engineer. I cleared the technical round, and yesterday, I attended the managerial round. It was moderate, but at the end, the interviewer mentioned that your role is L1, whereas their requirement is L2. I explained that my current role is as an L2 Application Support Engineer, but he stated that their definition of L2 is different. Does this mean I am not selected? Can anyone please share their opinion on this?

Never ever try to Join sapient. Coz it's always riskier there. I was there and completely not mental peace. They will simply conduct project interviews and won't allocate. Better try for different organizations for a better life.

Looks like you are getting confused because L1, L2 terms that are used in Application support teams.

But in sapient you will see designation like Senior Associate L1 (SAL1), Senior Associate L2(SAL2) which is completely different which you are thinking about support L1, L2.
So don't worry if your interview was fine, they will hire you, just contact to recruiter for offer.

Sure bro thanks for clarification, I will wait for positive feedback 🙂

L1 are career levels in psychology not connected to l1-l2-l3 in support things. How difficult it is for someone in ps to explain. Useless recruiting hrs

Looks like you have been dropped down to L1 from L2 in your Core Values eval. Hate to break it to you. However, confirm with your HR.

Didn't get you bro, Can you elaborate

Seems like the skills required for l2 are not matching with your skills set, you are good but for L1 position not for L2 that's the meaning and about selection if they have multiple support projects they will consider you or you are not selected


I would help with more clarity if you share JD

Ok how much i know sapient has very less support projects but all the best, be practical and apply elsewhere and keep minimum expectations from sapient good for your mental health

Sure! In PS, every skill has an SAL1 and SAL2 roles in terms of career stages. SAL1 is a level below SAL2. It is common for candidates to be dropped down from SAL2 to SAL1s or from Manager to SAL2s. From what I can tell, your Core Values interviewer might have dropped you down to SAL1. But, check with your Recruiter if a the Core Values interview can be done again.

YOE??

I guess they offer SAL2 position for > 6 YOE

They will give you offer but will give salary equivalent to L1 not L2
