Dear Candidate,
Firstly, thank you for providing this detailed feedback on your interview experience. It not only provides us a chance to introspect but also tells us about the frustration you are going through in your job search during these tough Covid times. Onit has been interviewing aggressively despite the pandemic and have been closely experiencing and empathising with candidates.
We have carefully gone through this particular case. Considering that the position is for a senior engineer and our selection is stringent, we do have a long and arduous interview process. We would like to maintain that, to get the best talent in. During our interviews, it is common for the interviewers to prod, nudge, provide alternatives and hints, towards approaching the problem. It helps us evaluate reaction time and problem solving ability. If the interviewee perceives their encouragement to be positive feedback, we would advise waiting to hear from HR on the same and not make presumptions. Regarding the 3rd round in particular, it probably started with this mismatch of expectations and that’s where it went wrong. We have noted and have corrected it.
Additionally it is not in our best interest to set a candidate up for failure. We truly value our pipeline of candidates and want to see them successful in their job search.
Regarding the expectation of the HR team noting and correcting it in your case - we do stand by the decision of our technical panel. Any process is always constantly evolving. Corrective steps have been taken, but that will be seen by other interviewees. Every experience counts and we continue to strive to provide the best.
