I think cognizant has the worst HRs, like i dropped an email a couple of weeks ago to re-negotiate my offer but they didn't care to respond. I dropped an email saying I am withdrawing my offer and they still didn't care to respond. Why are they hiring if they don't care? Deloitte USI Tata Consultancy Wipro Accenture India Infosys
I had an interview with Cognizant and then got an email from HR to fill in CIS form and also along with to send all the documents. After i send all those details i got an email saying the position went on hold and to wait until they revert.
Any idea that how much time it would take for the position to be released? They did not respond when i asked the same question.

Hey All!
I have a phone interview for a data scientist role at snowflake comming up. Any advice on how to prep?
The email indicates that the call will cover my experience, motivations, and understanding of Snowflake.
Curious if other have gone through the process and have insights to share. Or if anyone at snowflake can shed light on how I can be effective.

I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.
Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon
Don't be sad that you couldn't get through a FAANG 🤙

Absolutely not. If you were able to get into consulting, you will be able to do the MBA interview. Just be clear on why MBA and how ties to your goals, why this school, and have a few common behavioral stories (time showed leadership, greatest weakness, etc) using the STAR technique. Also realize that you will be compared against other consultants so you need to shine versus them, not versus all applicants
The whole degree costs like 200k so why not. Outside feedback is always helpful. If only to calm your nerves
Seriously all programs care about is your ability to boost their image via 1) good scores/gpa to bring up their numbers and probably even more important 2) likelihood of getting a stereotypically prestigious job with high salary upon exit so they can tout their great placement. They base that prediction largely on where your previous experience is, if you were already at a good company before they predict to u will be after too and thus make them look good
Btw all these programs ask similar questions can be found in google
I found mba consultants worth their salt, even if you think they might increase your chances by only 5-10%

I got into both Kellogg and Booth. The interviews were both somewhat laid back- handful of questions about my background, my goals and how an MBA fit into them, and why that particular school. I think each one was roughly half an hour, and I didn’t spend a lot of time preparing. Honestly I think the best thing to do would be to just lookup a handful of sample questions and prep your answers, anything else is probably a waste of time and money.
Short answer is no - got into both LBS and INSEAD with close to 0 in interview prep.
Why don’t you ask another MBA colleague
If you believe it’ll help your confidence notably when you walk in the room (or join the zoom) do it – but otherwise I don’t think it’ll objectively be worth the cost
Pro
Your best bet is to practice with colleagues who've gone through the MBA process.
