Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I interviewed for the position of Design Manager. After an initial call with HR, I had an interview with the hiring manager, which I assumed went fine since I immediately got a design test. The design test was quite extensive with 4 tasks in it. I spent 3 whole days working on it and thought I did a good job. I got a rejection 3-4 days later without a reason stated. Upon insisting for some feedback, the HR got back saying vague things like my profile was not a fit for the role. Then why give me a test in the first place?!

My advice to the company: If you're expecting candidates to spend days working on extensive design tests, the least you can do is spend 10 minutes and send them a feedback email if you reject them.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I would recommend not to apply for this company. These are my honest reviews where I took 6 rounds of interview with this company and I cleared all the 6 rounds. Finally they wanted to have a Face to face interaction with me which was a casual meet to release the offer, I went in person to meet a stranger without any official notice (email) which was held in a cafe. After 2 days the HR called called and informed that I am rejected for no reason, where the HR himself doesn't know the reason. They literally wasted my 1 and half months time. I am sick of these people and they dont seem friendly too.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Poor negotiation and time management:

The interview process with Plivo was lengthy spanning six rounds and a comprehensive take-home assignment. Despite clearly communicating my compensation expectations to the hiring manager and talent acquisition team from the outset, my needs were not adequately considered.

The assignment itself was extensive, requiring a minimum of 3 days to complete. Following interviews with the hiring manager, founder, and department heads, the talent acquisition approached me to negotiate compensation. Unfortunately, the hike offered was significantly lower than expected, despite my initial clear communication.

The entire process lasted two months, causing considerable frustration. I advise candidates to exercise caution when applying to this company, as the management's approach may prioritize undercutting candidates rather than valuing their skills, time, and expectations. This raises concerns about the company culture.
