Funny Experience.

Got a mail from HR to talk to HM. I forgot about that mail, and after two weeks, I got another mail saying that if I didn't respond to it, they would close my application. Still, I didn't respond to it.

Then one day, all of a sudden, I got a mail saying that they had closed the role I had applied to, but the HM wanted to talk to me about another role. We were arranging a telephonic with the HM at 4 PM. Still, I did not respond.

After 4 PM, I got another mail saying that the telephonic round had been rescheduled to 5 PM. Enough of that, so I finally responded, saying I was available at 5:15 PM and shared my cell number.

At 5:15 PM, a guy calls himself the HM. He talks like HR, calls me, and starts with HR questions and visa details. It appears he was looking for testers. After a 45-minute round, we were both certain I was above the skill he was looking for.

The next day, I received a mail from HR that said, "We will not be able to provide visa sponsorship for this role and therefore we will not be able to move forward with your application." This was after I had made it sufficiently clear that I didn't even need visa sponsorship.

That's the sign of the work environment.
