I bombed at my last company bc they literally threw me a laptop and said good luck. I want to avoid that nightmare again, but don't want to come off as needing my hand held either. What's a good way to bring up onboarding in interviews?

I would probably just ask directly about onboarding since I think that would show initiative on your part, not weakness. I just wouldn't bad mouth the previous job since that might come across as you not taking accountability.

I will say, it’s really unfair that we have to protect companies for their bad behavior and take all the accountability when things don’t work out. I agree with your statement because that is the way it is, but it isn’t right.

I would ask about onboarding by framing it as wanting to succeed quickly. I usually say I do my best work when expectations, training, and early support are clear. That shows ownership, not hand holding.

As a hiring manager, I actually like when candidates ask about onboarding. You can frame it as wanting to ramp fast, not needing babysitting. Something like, “What does success look like in the first 30, 60, 90 days?” tells me you’re proactive and serious.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
