The hiring process is so so long which is about 4 months and possibly more than that.. 3 levels of discussion .. 2 telephonic and one face to face .. it took them 2months to finish the 3 levels of discussion and after that no news from them..( you need to follow up as the HR would not ) it was dead silence .. just for releasing the result they took 2 more months and never got back .. (trust me the interview discussion was positive and the panel had been interested in going forward which is why I had been waiting )... no email or no calls from them regarding the result .. out of the blue when I had called them one day they say they are going to offer the position to someone else .. and no reason was stated.. why waste someone-else's time if the result is not positive or if they are expecting something else and make them wait .. pls do not wait for them to get back .. it's an utter waste of the candidates time and effort .. regardless of the result the candidate has the right to know it .. keep this one as the last option if you are an immediate joining candidate .. better still not keep it as an option at all...
