So, I told the recruiter I was available, but then didn't hear anything back until I followed up that same day. Then, suddenly, an interview was set up with the recruiter's boss. This person said my resume would go to their client, which sounded good. But then, right after, the recruiter told me I wasn't a good fit. It was weird how the feedback changed so fast and nobody was really clear about anything. It felt disorganized and inconsistent, especially since transparency matters a lot for a good candidate experience.

Behavioral
After all interview rounds, I was contacted by HR for salary negotiation. They even sent the CTC breakup. After I accepted and confirmed, HR stopped responding to calls, SMS, or emails. I am surprised by HCL's behavior, especially for a senior profile. At least they could have said it's on hold. Disappearing is not good. Glad this happened before joining. I will never join HCL again.
