I interviewed at Nutanix, Bangalore, via a referral.

On the first day, there was no HR to conduct anything. I was helped by my friend who referred me. The interviewers were nice and seemed knowledgeable. I was told I had to complete five interviews, so I took the day off. However, I was informed that interviewers were unavailable and was sent back after three interviews. I was invited again the following week for the remaining two.

On the second day, after the interviews (which were again pleasant), I interacted with HR. She asked for my current salary, my salary expectations, and if I had any other offers. I disclosed the salaries in my offers but not the companies. Later, I received an email requesting my current payslips, company joining letter, and offers from other companies.

At this point, I told HR that offers from other companies could not be shared as they are private and confidential. However, she insisted, stating that an offer could not be made unless this was done. I responded that this was immoral, unethical, and possibly illegal. She said she needed to check with the business and would act accordingly.

Three days later, I received the standard template of rejection. I am happy because it would have been a difficult decision to work for a company that compromises on ethics publicly.
