Interviewed for a senior position with PWC. The interview process was far stretched and took almost two months to reach the end. Was referred by a job consultant and the interview process began with a mutual understanding that the open position is a permanent one & on rolls with PWC. Soft copies of the experience letters, consent for bgv and education certificates were collected after the second round of interview itself. After all the interviews at various levels finally after 7 weeks the HR called and said to my surprise that they could only offer me a FTC role (Full time contractor) and FTE (Full time employment) is not possible. Upon rejecting the FTC oral offer, the hr arranged a call with the director who elaborated on the FTC concept again and said that it would be a one year contract. Also explained that due to budget, headcount and other vague reasons which were beyond understanding they were not in a position to release a permanent offer. Its really annoying to hear all these after waiting for almost two months..particularly when interviewed for a permanent postion and offered a contract role. Its a sheer waste of time for the candidate. HR guys just do the post man job and are clueless about the status of the candidatures' interview. Share the documents only after the release of the offer and ensure in the first round of interview itself whether the interview conducted is for a permanent / contractual one.
