Vicious layoffs at HCB health.

Had my final round last week at McK and still haven’t heard back. Resisting the urge to ping the recruiter until at least next week.

Cleared the technical round.I have received an email to submit the docs. But none were called me regarding the salary discussion. Usually how many days it will take to get the feedback

Does anyone feel that the Oil and Gas industry is the most discriminatory industry of all? They won’t even look at resume without O&G experience! It does not make sense to me as I would rather teach someone the specifics of an industry if they were a good fit. And for an industry that has so many obstacles from Government, Environmental Organizations and so on, why they are adding more bad publicity to themselves is not a great approach.

Anyone with Lixil Group here? Specifically OhIo / American Standard?
