I feel like asking what are my odds of being hired at the interview. The other part of me says this is a bad idea.

“Odds” are usually 1 / number of candidates

“How do I compare to other candidates” will help you understand where you rank. But I doubt that question would be answered very directly.

“Do you think I would be a good fit for this position” is a good way to request feedback indirectly.

Hi fishes,
My friend have cleared Tata Elxsi interview 5 months back and received her offer letter. Still now she haven’t recvd a joining letter. Couple of other friends are also facing similar issue.
Does anyone have any update on this?
Tried mailing to the HR and to their help desk. No response.
Its really disappointing. Even if they are not able to onboard candidates now, the least they can do is aknowledge and respond to the queries.
Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.
