Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't go for sales dept in Mumbai,very toxic working culture.
There was another ASM who supposed to take the interview but he left office early for whatever reasons I don't know.
Then another so called ASM Amit shukla who don't know easy calculations took the interview.
He asked me que on calculations,i gave the correct ans but he denied.i corrected him by showing on calculator.
I saw in front of me in their office👇
They put TADA claims of sales team on hold purposely,asks TSI to go another beat after completing beat for the day.

For last two years they have openings for SO post.
Maybe because of toxic working culture created by their asms from mumbai,Hershey's attrition % is too high.
Don't spoil ur career by joing Hershey.
ASM Amit shukla is culprit why Hershey is not growing in Mumbai in term of sales,& why their front line staff leaves the organization.
he will try to demotivate you on first impression only which is interview round without listening to your achievements.
Be careful.
Don't allow this negative people to ruin your career.
I also shared this feedback with HR person named Abdul Rehman.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The complete interview rounds was happening for 5 months from July to December and suddenly after finishing all the rounds the HR came to me saying that they have dissolved the position. I had to forgo a lot of other interviews in the mean time as I was literally told by the HR that all rounds are completed. If there wasn't any clarity about the position why did they waste time of a candidate and didn't even select. Very very disappointed by the whole team and I am never going to apply to this organisation ever.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - After a great fiirst round interview, was told I made it through to the next round and would be contacted to schedule. Crickets. 7+ weeks later, still nothing with application in "in consideration" status. Left hanging. ZERO contact from anyone. Disappointed, because I was stoked about the job and the possibility of working there. They wasted an opportunity at an engaged employee who would have been thrilled to work there. Disappointed at the less than truthful interviewer who told me I was through to the 2nd round. Disappointed at the mortifying lack of communication. Disappointed at the lack of recruiting stewardship in smugly leaving an application in "in consideration" for almost 8 weeks.
