HyderābādPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My process reached the final stage and still ended in disappointment, which made it feel especially hard to accept.

I cleared two technical rounds and then moved into an HR discussion where the tone shifted into something unprofessional and overly personal. The conversation looped repeatedly around why I was interviewing even though I already had a strong offer, and it turned into lecturing instead of a normal evaluation.

Near the end, they backed out due to budget constraints and how the offer level would or wouldn’t match the grade. The frustrating part was that I had already provided documents and even submitted an offer letter earlier, so the “decision” felt like it should have been clear much sooner
