I was selected by Zycus during campus placements, where my interview process lasted nearly 12 hours, beginning at 9:00 AM and continuing until midnight. After successfully clearing the interview rounds, I was issued an Offer of Intent for the role of Procurement Analyst with a package of 4.5 LPA. The offer letter mentioned that my joining would be scheduled for August 2024.
While awaiting onboarding, I consistently followed up with the HR team. Initially, I was assured that I would be joining in August 2024. However, the date was postponed to October 2024, and later again to April 2025. Despite these repeated delays, I continued to wait, though it was challenging to explore other opportunities in a difficult job market.
When April 2025 arrived, I learned that the HR representative I had been in contact with was no longer with the company. I then personally visited the Zycus office, only to be informed that the Procurement Analyst role I was offered had been discontinued, and there were no openings for it. Instead, I was told that I could be considered for a Tech Support role.
Unfortunately, my experience interacting with the HR representatives at this stage was very disappointing. They were unprofessional, dismissive, and communicated in a harsh manner. Overall, the process reflected a lack of concern for candidates and a disregard for the commitment initially made by the company.
