Received email notification of intent to progress my application. Followed by 1 interview with a recruitment lead in India and 3 separate interviews with the hiring manager and team members. The process last than 8 weeks from initial contact (this was 5 weeks after the application). Communication has been sparse throughout. Really disappointing that after 4 rounds of interview the recruitment team fell silent rather than notify the outcome. They have now ignored calls and emails for 2 weeks.

I received a call from linkedin application. The HR was fantastic to say the least- respectful, informative and very engaging. After a round of interview with the HR I was scheduled to be on a telephonic interview with the hiring manager based out of Singapore. Step 1 : I am skipping the HR round as I consider that to be more of a review of my profile and a confirmation of interest. The meeting with the hiring manager was scheduled for 45 minutes. It went really well (or it appeared to) . It was never a skill assessment interview rather a two way process Step 2 : Interview with Senior Consultant (based out of Singapore again), another high grade knowledge sharing exchange Step 3 : Interview with Sales Manager based out of India, here , the interview landscape mode tilted back to assessment but more of a profile assessment!, at the end the of it the business model, operations was so well explained that I thought I am already there, :) Step 4 : Interview with Research VP, this one was a little off the hook, but gradually the interviewer and me got engaged in a better dialogue bringing back the flavor of getting to know each other better Step 5 & 6 : Case presentation and Playbook presentation- this needed a lot of preparation and I guess I did justice to it! It was attended by several key folks in their New Delhi office and the hiring manager over VC Couple of folks the HR & the hiring manager deserves a lot of accolades for conducting such a smooth ( and long) process in the best way possible! The only change what might be needed is making those interviews a little longer to help candidates express themselves (it was way too short - 30 mins), also this meant that by the profile discussion is over you are done with the time.
