Interviewed for a Product Owner role in the Healthcare domain at GlobalLogic. The technical interview process was well-structured, with two technical rounds and a managerial round focused on Product Ownership and US Healthcare experience. After clearing all rounds, I was asked to submit a case study, which I completed and shared promptly, following which I was shortlisted for HR discussions. However, despite having discussed my salary expectations upfront and being told the budget was around my last drawn salary, I was eventually offered less than my previous compensation. After requesting at least a match to my last drawn salary, I was informed that management would review it, but since then the process has remained open while other candidates are being evaluated. While the interview experience itself was positive, the lack of closure and prolonged uncertainty after significant effort was disappointing. Candidates' time, transparency, and commitment should be valued throughout the hiring process.
