Recently attended an interview from one of the top IT firms . I'd never seen any such worst process in any of my life .
Since I'd attended an interview long back i was surprised to receive this call and HR informed me that I'll be having a HR round and the day comes i joined the call ( literally they didn't even ask a single HR question and it was completely about TR) when I reached out to HR . I was told this was a TR + MR

Hi everyone, I recently moved to Canada for a job that I was initially thrilled about and very qualified for. However the first few months were difficult as a new immigrant and having to deal with a "start up" environment (I came from a larger, more structured institution). I've dealt with heavy competition and insecure leaders. It's been a real up and down experience for me and I lost a lot of professional confidence. Any advice if I should say and fight, move on,or take a work pause? Thanks.
