I had an interview recently where I was the only one with my camera on. It seemed so weird and a big turn off. They didn't end up moving me forward but I'm kind of glad, because that's not a great culture. Do you agree?

I’m with you. In an interview either we’re all on camera or we are all off. That definitely would have rubbed me the wrong way. Energy is everything and it’s already hard to exchange virtually that situation makes it impossible. I agree with you 100%.

No, not really. I guess I don’t see the issue. I’ve been in meetings where I was the only with my camera on. Didn’t bother me. What about this situation made you think the culture isn’t great?

It was an interview. They could see me, I couldn't see them. And they didn't give any excuses for not coming on camera, nor did they invite me to turn mine off. It seemed like they were clueless about how to connect with an applicant.

Should have to have the cameras on when interviewing, or else why isn’t it just a phone call? We all have tech issues, but you should have been told that and invited to turn your camera off, too.

Right, either poor attention to detail or they just didn't care what kind of impression they made, or they didn't take it seriously. Either way, it's a bad look.

Yes that seems very strange. I think you got lucky there.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
