How is thoughtworks hikes, wlb, does it provide any benefits apart from fixed pay? My research gives me a mixed review: some say it's good, some say that thoughtworks is not stable enough like big 4 or other organisations. Pls help Thoughtworks Deloitte

This happens often. Most companies will have recruiters reach out to many people. It will be presented to the hiring manager and then either you get an interview or you don’t. Ghosting happens at all companies.
They will only actively reach out to candidates for those that are moving on through the process. Everyone else will get notified through closing out on the system.
I had the same. Went through 3 interviews and I emailed with no response. The only way I knew that I didn’t get it was because I saw that specific location with a sign saying “opening soon.” No matter how busy- a recruiter should always notify that it’s a pass. So very unprofessional

Yes, this is standard. The recruiter probably just rejected you on Workday, and does not have time to call you and talk about it with you.
Generally, you’d get a call if an offer is being made. Other than that, just expect to receive emails on next steps.
I have been interviewed by the recruiter and ended the conversation with I am going to green light your resume and hours later, they test stating the job has been filled? turns out the the client hired someone and did not keep the recruiter in the loop, Pathetic.
Once I had a recruiter reach out to me, interview, tell me that I’m moving on, then no response and in their Workday portal it said I withdrew…crazy
MULTIPLE TIMES 😂
It happened with me twice for my current employer and an internal application- I appeared twice for @RBC Capital Markets (i work for RBC), the first time i got an email but only when i followed up, next time i didnt hear back just got a rejection. It was my third round with the Director/VP and Senior Manager.
Next time, TD interviewed me twice - rejected after appointment on workday without any communication, second time they said they have me in mind for another role and will reach out again as there are “internal restructuring “ going on
We use Workday in my position, and the recruiter call is usually just a screening to gather info to see if you'd be a good fit experience and salary-wise to move forward with an interview with the people in the department. If they don't feel you're a good fit for whatever reason, they mark that in the Workday system and it auto-generates an email letting you know you're not moving forward. Ours is set to sending this email two weeks later. I wouldn't take this personally, they deal with a high volume of candidates and reaching out to each one individually and answering follow up questions would eat up a large portion of their time, which they need to spend finding a suitable candidate for the position. I've been rejected many times, it's just how some companies operate.
I do not know the answer / has never happened but I have a follow on question. What is the process that allows this to happen? Is it that recruiters own reach outs and the hiring manager (or someone else in HR) has authority to reject applications? And when they don’t coordinate properly this can happen?
I’ve heard about this happening a few times on FB. Makes me wonder how companies can be so incompetent.

I do not think the issue is competency. We as humans are inherently busy at work, juggling
a number of activities at once, and dedicating our time to the most valuable actions in the workplace are where most usually spend their time.
Adding additional time to talk to a candidate via a live call about a rejection for a position is not usually the most valuable way to spend one’s time.
That's normal practice. They ask u behavioural questions and the sheet they have mentions the red flag answers u gave. If they are above the required limit, they will reject u.
Yes. Sadly, this is how they do things now. It wasn’t like that 10 years ago. I’d expect just to be ghosted. I’d send 2 emails as follow-ups a week apart and if I don’t hear anything then assume it’s over.
I have been ghosted more times than I can count, I think it cruel act on the part of employers.
I find many employers guilty of lying to applicants, by stating the job has been filled or we have moved on to other candidates and afterwards the posting remains for weeks into months. I think they hired someone who did not work out and refused to change their approach.
