So that decision makers can reduce their own liability. If something doesn't work out, you can always put it on the consultants.

Multiple reasons, some most common being: an outsider unbiased view, knowledge of what peer companies are doing, drive new initiatives which are too radical for insiders to get implemented, lack of consensus in the C suite, the list goes on!

For 7 reasons really -

1. Get an independent firm to confirm their "hunch" (read: agenda)
2. Augment capacity for an initiative
3. Transfer skills
4...

For other four reasons, please sign the engagement letter.

Dear Amdocs Hiring Team, Thanks for the worst experience. You guys took almost 2 months for hiring process, asked for all the documents, even shared the CTC breakup over email and at last after multiple follow ups over calls and emails, you replied by stating that "Unfortunately , we are not moving ahead with your candidature at moment." When I asked the reason, you are clueless till now what to say? You guys even don't have enough courage to respond my calls. #Amdocs #Hiring

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
