Seems lot of regionalism going on at Salesforce Hyderabad office. I cleared my technical round for the DevOps role with flying colours, still was not selected there. Maybe a blessing in disguise, the interviewer gave a really bad impression of the culture. Such a nice company, sad it's located at a wrong location.

Hyderabad is the best location for any company in the world. That's why we see companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Service Now, Apple here.

How do you quote the word regionalism here. ?

Happened with me not during the interview but during my time at Amazon. My team had almost all the members from Hyderabad only and they clearly showed favouritism towards their own. Glad I left.

Never join a team where all members are from same region and you are not.

It's everywhere but Hyderabad is king for this. Feel really sad when language takes precedence over skills.

Companies usually prefer candidates from same region. Reason being that someone from another region tends to leave earlier because at some point of time they tends to shift to city near to their hometown. At least that's what I understood from my interactions with TA team. Can't deny the favorism although.

Happened with me as well. That too with Salesforce.

I think this is okay for the companies unless there is an impact on productivity.

Unity and integrity of the whole country 😳. Managers are not fools to select the less productive candidate. The ultimate goal is to get the job done. If two candidates with the same performance in the interview, they may prefer to select the person from the same region . This happens everywhere in India.

Yeah agree it’s worse in south

Mumbai and Bangalore are the most cosmopolitan of all the cities in India. People in other locations are less tolerant and don’t easily accept people coming from different cultures. Hence, both these cities progressed much faster as compared to others since it’s easier to attract talent
