Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't at all think of attending interview, you can even crack but my recommendation would be not join this company.

People always get confused with the name "Harman", there are two units, "Harman International" and "Harman Connected Services", if you're getting chance to work in Harman International, then ok, go for it, otherwise just think you're going to work in Infosys if you're joining Harman Connected Services. Decision is all yours,,

I resigned from Harman after 7 months only. Harman policies are also so bad, you can't think that whatever you're being told at the time of interview, same think you'll get after joining.

In my experience this is a waste company and seekers should simply boycott this.

I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in Jan 2022. There were 4 interview rounds.
