I applied for the job through employee referral. The HR called me and had an informal telephonic interview where she asked about my career highlights, reason for leaving my recent job and my expected salary. I was then scheduled to attend a face-to-face interview at their venue in ITPL - Bangalore. Time taken to collect the resume: 10 hours # of applicants: 140 (on that day alone) Interview procedure: The interview was scheduled on a Saturday and there was only 1 HR present to interview all the 140 applicants. She arrived 1hr later than her scheduled arrival while all candidates waited at the reception. She escorted us upstairs to the training room where we were to wait. Then she went on a lunch-break for 45 minutes. She returned and started interviewing the candidates one by one, juggling between interviews and other paper-work that kept her busy. Every now and then, she would burst into the room and announce to all the candidates that she was really stressed and we need to bear with the delay as she cant quicken up the interview all by herself. It was their 2nd day at the venue for a few candidates. They had already gone through the same delays earlier and had come back to finish their 2nd interview round i.e. with the Operations Manager. After 8 hours of wait, the HR confessed that the Operations Manager hasn't shown up and that their 2nd round will be re-scheduled. They went away grumbling and cursing. The training room still had many candidates waiting for the 1st round. So the HR decided to conduct the 1st round in groups to save time. She would escort 6-8 candidates together into her cabin and interview them. everyone had to take turns to answer these questions: - Tell me about yourself - why did you quit your last job? - How much salary are you drawing currently? - How much salary are you expecting at Tesco? These were the same questions asked to all of us in our telephonic rounds but we repeated it nevertheless. It was a little uncomfortable as we had to discuss our salary and other details in a group. She said that she will inform us if we were shortlisted. A few days later, an HR executive from her team called to inform me that my 2nd round was scheduled that following Saturday with the Operations Manager. To my bad luck, the call got disconnected due to bad network. Neither dd the HR executive care to call me back nor was he available on the line no matter how many times I tried calling back. I simply decided to show up for the 2nd round though I didn't have all the details. When I reached the venue, the HR lady who conducted the 1st round said that no one from her team called me as I wasn't shortlisted. When I reasoned to her by showing the call log on my phone and told her that I was told that my 2nd round was scheduled that day, she denied it. She even demanded that I must produce a print-out of the mail inviting me to the 2nd round. I had no choice but to return home as there was no e-mail invite sent to me. A month later, another HR from Tesco called me and said that I had been shortlisted for the Team Leader post in another process. I showed up for the interview and finished my 1st round in no time. She told me that I've been shortlisted for the 2nd round with the Operations Manager, which will happen in a few minutes. Just then the HR lady I met last time happened to enter the room. The last i remember seeing her was when she asked my interviewer to accompany her into another cabin. The next thing I know is the interview coming back to me and telling that my 2nd round has been cancelled and I must wait until further notice. Till date, I have no idea why the HR at Tesco behaved like morons.
