Recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. HackerRank Test Call with the Hiring Manager. It's not important for them to let you know that they are moving forward with the other candidates.

The Recruitment executive contacted me on linkedin. so I applied through the recruitment executive. 1) Interview Process: a) HR screening by the recruitment executive ( Expected CTC, why are you applying at ridecell etc) b) Telephone interview for screening c) They asked me to take a full day leave for all technical interviews. i) I had to complete the assignment (backend task) within 3 hours. ii) code review and two technical interviews iii) two managerial round (by engineering manager and people operation) The interviewers were quite supporative. They were happy about the performance. I had to clear only one round of CFO as per discussion with them. d) They rescheduled the CFO round more than 5 times. I understood it as the CFO was traveling. They scheduled another managerial round with senior director of engineering. both rounds were positive and I was looking forward to receive the offer. e) So called the recruitment executive sent me an email about my candidature status and didn't update me after a week. I had to follow up with her ( by sending an email / whatsapp call etc). She didn't have my data like no. of experience, Expected CTC etc even though I cleared the all rounds. I sent her required documents over mail. Now she's saying we can't match your expected CTC. I'm ready to negotiate as I really like their product but she doesn't want to move ahead. I'm really disappointed as she knew my expected CTC in first round itself. she wasted her team time as well mine. Advise to management team: Don't play with candidates. If you don't offer the CTC, don't say you offers best salary in industry. 1. hire smart recruitment executive I invested my time for all the rounds (took a leave and late night / early morning calls)
