HCL Exposed
One of the worst interview experiences. The interviewer was unprofessional—took random breaks, barely asked questions, and told me to sit on camera doing nothing till 30 mins passed while he left. I informed HR via call and mail, but they completely ghosted me. No response, no accountability. Disrespectful and careless attitude toward candidates. If this is the hiring process, I wouldn’t trust the work culture either. Rating: 1/5
