Extremely Unprofessional Hiring Process
I went through Publicis Sapient’s hiring process and it was one of the most frustrating experiences. They conduct 3 internal rounds and 3 client rounds, with each round lasting around 2 hours. That means the entire process drags on for several days, requiring a lot of time and energy from candidates.
I cleared all the rounds successfully and even reached the salary negotiation stage. The HR promised me that I would be given my expected salary. However, after that, they completely stopped responding. My calls, emails, and messages went unanswered. Despite being selected, they never released my offer letter.
This shows a complete lack of professionalism and respect for candidates’ time and effort. If they can’t honor their commitments or communicate properly, they should not drag candidates through such a lengthy process.
I would strongly advise job seekers to be cautious before investing their valuable time with Publicis Sapient.
