I had read through the various experiences from people who had interviewed with Tiger Analytics(TA), on this platform, so I was hesitant to apply for roles that used to popup in my page at the professional social media platform. However, there was this requirement for a role in TA, for which I received so many calls from different external consulting recruiters that I decided to keep an open mind and submit to the interview process. I was told that there would be 3 rounds of technical interviews and one HR round. Usually recruiting HR has a bad rap , but I would like to make the point here that the members of the HR team in TA who interacted with me throughout this experience were utterly professional ,kind and excellent communicators. I had my first interview with a person ,who I understood subsequently, was performing a role similar to the one I was interviewing for.At the end, I got the impression that I was cleared to attend the next round. The next person I talked to, was the Head of the Technical group, this role would report to. While the first round of interview went deep down into technical aspects of the role, this second round covered the breadth of my experience. The feedback from the HR after the second round was positive, and this where the script started changing. The HR informed me that the third round would not be a tech interview, but a case study round. I was given a case study by email and asked to prepare a presentation. I read through the case study and replied the same day ,that 95% of the case study requirement was outside the bounds of the technical skills that I brought to the table, and was completely irrelevant for the role I had applied for. I was re-assured by the HR representative , and the Head of the Tech group who conducted the second round, that this was required to test my non-tech skills, and asked me to prepare whatever I can.The casestudy docket even included documents on how to create a presentation. The case study round was a horrible experience, where I found the interviewers to be - dismissive, - exhibiting no respect for the candidate, - respect the time the candidate put in to prepare the presentation(while employed elsewhere) - not aware whether the role I had applied for, and the case study had anything in common. It was a bizarre experience, where I was summarily told that my presentation was not technically relevant to the case study . Exactly my point !!! They did not feel a common courtesy to switch on their video even once during this one hour discussion(I was talking to a black screen with unknown people), whereas, in every round of interview with TA, I was expected to switch on my video and hold my identity card by the side of my face for them to take a snapshot(which I feel is reasonable given the instances of fraud that happens in recruitment circles). Anyhow, after a week, first I received an automated mail , and then the HR rep was kind enough to personally call me, and inform that my profile would not be taken forward. To my fellow jobseekers, don’t waste your time with these folks. Even if you get selected, I doubt if you would be allowed to perform your duties in peace, in this organization. I should have just trusted my instincts, and not wasted a single moment of my life, on this experience.
