Inquiring about salary expectations will likely lead to an offer that does not exceed 30%, with 12% as a variable amount allocated for a performance bonus, which you may never receive, based on the rationale that your experience is not relevant, despite having a background in a related field such as voice processing.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - ADP should assess the behavior and approach of its hiring team, particularly the HIRING MANAGER conducting interviews. It's unprofessional when managers, sitting behind the camera, display an attitude suggesting they possess complete knowledge of every company and its working concepts. This not only reflects IRRELEVANCE but also undermines the credibility of the hiring process. Additionally, behaviors such as sarcastic smiles when a candidate fumbles demonstrate UNETHICAL and critical conduct. Judging candidates solely based on a two-page resume further highlights a FLAWED approach, which can negatively impact the company’s REPUTATION and VALUES.

The unfortunate reality is that even while working with INTERNATIONAL BRANDS and COMPANIES, people (HR AND UPPER-LEVEL MANAGEMENT) still exhibit an INDIAN NARROW and DOMINATING MINDSET, which is very disappointing. They ask us to THINK OUT OF THE BOX but are unwilling to be BROAD-MINDED themselves, continuing to judge people solely on the basis of a two-page resume.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - If you love yourself and your peace of mind don't even think of joining this toxic place. Specially the design team. There is a monopoly of one not so gentle gentleman. Here's a list of tasks in his daily routine:

Schedule one on ones so he can start the day by shouting at people.

Belittling

Humiliating

Crushing people's confidence

Every year, he goes on a rampage so he can replace his entire team.This is a routine toxic practice he religiously follows regardless of the work that you do.

He has a step by plan, follows the exact same script regardless of what you do and don't do. For example, a co-worker who has a MA in linguistics was told to improve her English. This is hilarious and ironic at the same time. Another Co worker who has trained at least 15000 associates across locations in the last 2 decades. And suddenly the organization realizes that she missed a full stop. And she gets fired for a full stop, a comma and a colon.
Ridiculous, horrible, pathetic are just a few small words for this place. MY SERIOUS ADVISE, DON'T JOIN. SIT AT HOME BUT NEVER JOIN ADP.

I left in the middle of an interview.
M a self-taught developer. been working really hard, trying to break into tech. Two days ago, I got approached by an hr from this e learning company for an IT role. I was super nervous but also excited because it felt like maybe this is it. The interview was on teams with 9 experienced pros all with degrees and certifications while I had no formal IT background, just self-taught skills. I felt completely out of place. Most of the interviewers were kind and said I could learn on the job. But one person kept throwing back-to-back questions with shady comments after every answer made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. It crushed my confidence About 10 minutes before the interview ended, I panicked. Anxiety took over, so I faked a network issue and left the call. Then I just broke down. I didn’t want to be disrespectful, so I quickly emailed saying I got disconnected. Truth is, I was overwhelmed and felt like a total fraud. I’ve wanted a job in tech for so long.
