A person took phone interview, informed second round is arranged, ghosted and never answered back. After two weeks, he called and told your budget is too high, we can't go ahead which means they never checked the resume for expected salary. Such a waste of time

Interviewed for PM role at Tracxn and was subjected to a case study assignment. Worked hard on the assignment with took substantial research, time and energy. However, unfortunately didn’t get through. Although I really appreciate the opportunity given and the learning during the process there was no feedback or reason shared to rejection. Even after requesting, for feedback/ reason so that I’m able to understand the company goals and expectations better and would help me prepare for future roles at Tracxn. Still no response/ reason was shared citing integrity of hiring process. I can understand companies help us provide opportunities but they too are answerable to candidates to share some reason and complete the loop for hiring process. Any candidate who go through a couple of rounds and works on assignments shared my any organisations, puts a lot of hard work and dedication. Atleast a fair feedback/ reason is a bare minimum ask after a couple of rounds. If a candidate rejects an offer a complete reason is demanded, where as the same information is not floated from the other way round. Maybe, it might looks like a bit too much to ask, but with great company culture already in place with organisations like swiggy/ Uber/ Microsoft etc makes it clear why they are able to get and retain such top talents.
