HCL's interview game strong, but the silence is deafening!
I interviewed at HCL Technologies for a Quality Analyst role. The interview process was smooth, with relevant questions from a polite panel across multiple rounds. But it's been over 20 days since my final round, and I've heard nothing about whether I got the job or not. This lack of feedback is disappointing and leaves candidates hanging. Hoping HCL steps up their communication game, especially after the final rounds.
