I do interviews quite frequently and I really like when people ask about culture and work life balance. I hate when someone comes in acting like they just want to work their life away and not have any sort of work life balance because that is not what we want for out employees. I like knowing people value WLB.

I like when people ask about workflows and communication. Those have always been very important things to me in my place of work, so I really appreciate people who seem to care about those things too

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.

How long does HCL take to release the offer?

I have taken the interview on 27th July 2022 and next day I got an update that I am selected and I will be connected by HR for further proceedings.

With all details I have shared, I have been told that the approvals are pending and the offer will get released soon.

Now, they have mentioned it will be released next week.

Your thoughts on this, TIA
