The process was poorly structured from the outset. No formal job description was shared, and expectations were communicated only verbally by the recruitment agency. I proceeded based on limited information and went through multiple rounds—HR Head, Sales Head, Data Analytics Lead, CEO—and submitted a detailed 30-60-90 day plan.
Despite investing significant time and effort, including an in-person meeting and follow-ups, the process lacked transparency. I was asked uncomfortable personal questions unrelated to the role (including family planning), and was given a timeline for an offer that never materialized.
After more than a week of silence, I was abruptly informed that they were seeking someone with deep Azure partnership experience—something never mentioned as a core requirement and clearly misaligned with my GCP and ISV/OEM background, which was known to the panel from the start.
This experience reflected a serious lack of internal alignment and respect for candidates’ time. If Azure expertise was non-negotiable, it should have been communicated upfront. The entire process felt like a waste of effort due to poor planning and unclear priorities.
