Applied for a graduate associate role. Had prior experience in auditing, so the interviewer asked me to talk about what I did. Interview was quite short, nothing technical, and interviewer was friendly.

The interview process was straightforward and consisted of three rounds. It began with an aptitude test, followed by a technical round focused on basic audit and accounting concepts, and concluded with an HR discussion covering background, expectations, and fit. Overall, the process was structured and moved smoothly. Cons: Communication around onboarding is extremely poor. I received an offer letter with a confirmed joining date, relocated to Kochi based on that, and two days before joining, I was informed that the offer was deferred. No clear timeline or proactive updates afterwards — kept waiting without any concrete information. HR support is unresponsive and slow during critical moments. Causes financial and mental stress for candidates who plan their lives based on the offer. Advice to Management: If you cannot honour joining dates, be transparent early. Candidates make major life decisions based on the company’s commitments. Stronger communication, clearer timelines, and responsible handling of offer deferrals would prevent unnecessary hardship and maintain trust in the brand.
