Hi,
I had received a shortlisting call from Axis Bank. The HR told me link will be shared where I need to update my documents.
I didn't receive any link and HR confirmed that there is some system issue hence link has not come.
Now, it has been 4-5 days, HR is not receiving my calls.
Is someone aware about such issue with Axis Bank HR portal? Axis Bank Ltd

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.

Likely to gauge your reaction.
Ah I just kept saying I’m still interested and don’t mind bla bla, would like to learn
Some surprising responses here. Perhaps they really just wanted to get a reaction, but I doubt it.
If the work is honestly tedious, they probably want you to know that upfront so they don't have to go through the whole hiring process again in 3 months when you realise just how spectacularly boring it is and quit.
Call center interviewers will often tell you that type of work is brutal and not for everyone upfront for the same reason. Sugarcoating the work just makes the revolving door spin faster. Honesty helps weed out some of the folks who wouldn't stay long anyways.
Belive what she says. If she says the role is not the best she might be honest with you because she wants to avoid hiring someone who would leave in a month or two because they don’t like the job. I am sure she wants to save herself time to interview someone else again.
I wouldn’t rely on others saying great things about the company etc. Company could be great but each team is different. Keep that in mind.
I don’t see a point in her trying to gauge your reaction. What’s the point? I think she is trying to be honest with you to make sure she hires someone who is going to stick for awhile and won’t leave shortly after being hired
That’s fair, I’d be more apprehensive about the whole thing if it wasn’t my first job post grad. Kind of just trying to get my foot in the door
Use it as a hint - move on
Setting expectation - at this point you can ask why the previous person is leaving or no longer working out
Either she was being honest because too many people left for the very same reason, or was gaging your reaction to what she had said. Perhaps the manager is sick of interviews, or her job, and want it over with. Either way, it's a red flag, so run and look for something more positive.
The motivation is irrelevant. The only question you need to answer is do you want to work for an idiot?
Regardless if they were being honest or lying for some reason, probably not a good place to join
What does the role entail?
Finance is tough right now! Budgets are being cut, reorgs are happening and reporting out on the status of projects, products & budgets is a weekly thing. I don’t think she was testing you, she could’ve honestly been having a rough day, (most are who work in finance) and wanted to keep it real with you. Finance is a cut throat industry but high rewards when the economy is good… high risk, high rewards.
If you have done a sjmilar you would know whether the role can be tedious or boring. But you still doing that role ao you know what you want tk do and it is like someone said trying to gage your reaction and making sure that you underatand that there is aspects of the role that is tedious/repetative.
Its not necessarily a bad thing . What else was said
