Too many stealth layoffs
Too many stealth layoffs
Lots of talented people, interesting projects, and some cool technology (usually acquired).
- Unethical. Instead of laying off people, the company engages in shady tactics to force people to resign so that layoffs don't need to be announced. Primary among them is relocating your job to another city/country and then expecting you to move or find new employment at IBM, which is next to impossible to get.
- Hoodwinking employees with a constant barrage of DEI in the US while cutting jobs and exporting jobs overseas to India as the solution.
- Cheap, nickle-and-diming employees for the sake of stock price.
- Promotions, raises, and bonuses are increasingly rare.
- Software development practices are archaic.

The process started with an initial assessment (OA), followed by a questionnaire. Next, there was a standard 30-minute to one-hour behavioral interview. I did not make it past that stage, so I am unsure what to expect afterward.

The interview was good. It took four rounds and was very easy to clear. The first round was aptitude, followed by an English test and an interview. The interview went well, and I was selected. That's it for today.

It was a standard interview process used by a big MNC. Screening test, followed by a Personal Interview, and then a meeting with the HR team. This is the standard procedure for most MNCs and big services companies in India.
