January 11, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Written Test for Java, followed by two technical rounds, and then a Managerial Round.

Questions

Bangalore has great distances to cover. The written test should have been converted to an online test with a webcam feature. This filtering should have been done as it saves time for candidates.

Further, on the day of the interview, Dell had an employee engagement program, causing the unavailability of panelists and further delaying the process. At the end, the interviewer does not do justice to candidates coming later in the day.

Also, there was no protocol as to who should send rejection messages to employees. In a standard case, only HR should communicate. Here, the interviewer, out of disgust for so many candidates, might have said that. Nothing personal, but anyways, you cannot show such dejection to a candidate. Maybe they are unprepared. This should not be a matter of judgment.
