Hi all! I have a 45 minute screening interview at Facebook (Meta) next week for their Product Development Specialist position. Does anyone have any advice on what I can expect? In particular, I was told there would be a case study question at the end of the interview. Any advice or insight is appreciated!
There are lot of mixed reviews about Nagarro.. some folks are saying Nagarro do not fire even in covid the only did the pay cuts and did not fire anyone... where as some folks are saying Nagarro is hiring rigorously more than their projects strength so firing will happen for sure and if you are on bench for more than 1 month you are in red zone as the same happened in past... what is the mystery.. can anyone from Nagarro an honest review about this organization.

Yes it’s legal but it’s hella fucked up.
This assumes none of those people were on FLMA/ADA leave for stress/anxiety. Those ppl may have a claim but everyone else learned that the company is horrible

“Significant stress” could mean the complainants had anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, or other pre-existing medical issues that were worsened. If termination followed notifying the employer of a medical condition, but there was no interactive process to establish accommodations, this could be illegal in the U.S. under federal law (the ADA).

That’s great that you’re working out an accommodation. I am not sure who is technically supposed to start the interactive process, but I suspect it would be you. In my situation, I approached the firm with an accommodation plan that I ran by my attorney.
I would advise consulting with a disability attorney or employment attorney to work out how much to disclose about your medical condition/diagnosis, what to ask for, and what your back up plan is if the firm says no.
Askjan.org has good ideas for accommodations.
Bro what??
Legality depends. Nonspecific stress is not a protected category. Also, the legality of any employment condition depends on the actual state. I find that almost all people, and shockingly many attorneys, imagine that they have California employment rights, even though they live in voter suppression anti-humanity states (a.k.a. the South & similar). I’m always shocked for instance that people still don’t understand that the Crown Act does not apply across every state.
Imagine telling a job you are stressed out and they say, well that sounds like a you problem that we inquired about, anyways bye! I don’t really understand the situation here, what would have been their purpose in giving the survey? Did they just use it as a way to get rid of people? So weird.
oh my goodness.
If the people have said they have stress and it impacts their jobs, management could always assert they have cause as the people aren't capable of doing the work. It's possible some employment lawyer would take up the case. But I can't imagine it's worth fighting to keep a job with those characters.
I mean it could also be the case that the job is at-will and the employer doesn’t even need cause to terminate, but that is still an absolutely wild thing to do

This was so crazy that I had to google the company. It’s located in India and apparently they did this for publicity.
