Some of the worst managers hire their acquaintances, even if they lack knowledge. Despite candidates performing extremely well in interviews, they aren't considered. It's a waste of time, especially with managers in Hyderabad.

Interview Experience I had interviews for two roles:

1. Through a reference, HR never contacted me to schedule the interview. Instead, the team called and scheduled it for the next day. The interview was entirely technical, and I answered all questions successfully. For the next round, the interviewer called and spoke for 10 minutes before rejecting me in favor of their own reference, who had less knowledge and experience. It's unprofessional to ask for CCTC and ECTC in a technical interview; this should be handled by the hiring manager or recruiter. Throughout the process, no HR was involved.

A month later, I applied for another role. This time, HR called to schedule technical interviews, which I cleared. They then scheduled a face-to-face round with the hiring manager. Despite going to the office, the HM was working from home, so the interview was conducted via video call from their office. I answered all questions, and the HM expressed strong interest, even indicating that I was selected. However, a week later, HR provided negative feedback. I felt that the hiring manager lacked both technical and managerial skills and may have joined WF with fake experience. Truly disappointing.
