The overall experience with Eggfirst was extremely disappointing.
Initially, HR reached out and assigned me a task, which I submitted within the given deadline. After waiting for two days without any update, I followed up and was repeatedly assured that I would receive a response "the next day." Later, I was informed that the copy head was on leave for a day. Even after that, there was no communication.
After an entire week, I was contacted again and asked to attend an in-person interview. During the interview, the department head's attitude and approach came across as unnecessarily egoistic. The HR team then assured me that a final decision would be communicated by Monday.
It has now been over 15 days, and despite sending follow-up emails, I have received no response whatsoever.
HR team at Eggfirst, please be honest and respectful in your communication and commitments. Setting expectations and then repeatedly failing to meet them leaves candidates with a very poor impression of the organization.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Eggfirst (Mumbai) in Dec 2024
Interview
Very vague interview by Junior HR person. Went through each position listed on my CV and then ghosted. No feedback or further communication. Place seems rather casual. Also, the HR person doesn't seem to have the relevant experience.
There was a slight disappointment in terms of time management; they tended to keep candidates waiting for the post-interview response, suggesting a need and a room for improvement in this aspect.
