Very Disappointing and Emotionally Draining Experience
I don’t usually write reviews like this, but my experience with Motadata left me genuinely disappointed.
I went through multiple rounds of interviews and successfully cleared discussions with senior leadership like VP, COO and Head of HR. I was given a clear indication of moving forward, including a joining date, which gave me confidence that things were finalized.
At that point, I had other opportunities in hand, but I chose to let them go because I was genuinely interested and even HR insisted that now that we have given you an offer, you can reject the other offers. I was happy. The next day there was a small presentation along with the CTC they wanted to offer.
When I tried to negotiate slightly on compensation - something I believe is normal and expected from any candidate in this world. The discussion went on hold for 2 days, But later I was asked to go through another round with the CEO. This was surprising, especially after everything had already been discussed.
That interaction did not feel respectful and I was told that I was money minded. In my entire career, and even in negotiations - it felt so worst and uncomfortable.
After waiting and following up for two days, I was informed that my application had been rejected.
It’s difficult to explain how frustrating that feels:
After clearing multiple rounds
After being given confidence about the offer
After letting go of other opportunities
I strongly feel that candidates deserve better clarity, respect, and consistency - especially at final stages of the hiring process.
I hope the company reflects on this and improves how it handles candidates in the future.
