Joined recently company called thoughtworks... Their interview process is very tiring with unnecessary rounds like cultural and fit etc... Everyone said it's a people centric org and no mandate on work from home. I was tagged to a Indian client who had a mandate of 2 day work from their office. Now, they made it 5 day work from office and the tw management says we have to follow as it's client mandate.. I tried explaining a medical situation of a family member which needs home stay.. But no use

What is with this obsession some people have with making everyone work in an office? So annoying. I'm guessing thoughtworks won't give you another client? It's a bummer the company won't stand up for you, but companies aren't the best at treating employees like people these days. Was it in your job contract that you can work from home? Maybe there is something legally you can do?

Best of luck 😂 with Indian client

Yes Indian work culture is more about quantity than quality.

Sounds like bait and switch. I'm so sorry that happened. Did you have any idea before accepting the position that there was the potential for getting a client that requires in office work? Or were you told you would be working from home? I would be pissed, especially if you have a family member who relies on you for care.

That's lousy. But these companies will push and get away with as much as they can get away with. Making you go into an office that much when you didn't sign on for it is awful. If you need to work, I guess you have to go along with it, especially if your complaints fell on deaf ears. But it's not right.

This company being wholly VC owned only cares only for profit now. Employees have a choice to either accept unreasonable conditions or be fired. During my time there, I was told to accept project demands or there `wouldn't be another project inline` frequently. Best thing I did was leave this company.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

So I had a final round with HR of a decent firm, sounded pretty rude entire time, talked to few friends and colleagues, everyone said it is same story of most companies. Any tips and tricks to handle such HRs? 🤷🏻‍♂️
