Antara Mandal, in a now-edited post, claimed that she cleared 14 rounds of interviews before bagging the job of a developer at a Bengaluru company.
An ex-employeee from the same company said there is a maximum of 4 rounds.
Applying for a job can often feel like running a marathon, with companies laying out a number of obstacles in the name of interview rounds. It might be true that recruiters often come up with their own way of conducting interviews; the process can get tiring due to countless rounds of questions and answers. One such instance of a job interview has stirred a debate on the Internet after a woman claimed to have cleared 14 rounds of interviews before bagging her “dream” job.
In a now-deleted Instagram thread, Antara Mandal shared pictures of herself at a Wipro campus, proudly posing at her new company. Besides selfies inside the company building and its premises, Antara also shared a picture of her office ID card, offering it as proof of her new employment. In one of the photos, she could be standing indoors in front of a large Wipro logo, posing with both hands, and maintaining a big smile on her face. Dressed in a light yellow top and blue jeans, a Wipro employee badge is visible around her neck.
“After clearing 14 rounds of an interview, I have finally been selected for the ‘DEVELOPER’ role in ‘WIPRO.’ I create my own sunshine. Dreams are not what you see in your sleep; dreams are those that don’t let you sleep,” she reportedly wrote in her caption, as quoted by Livemint.
In another post on Instagram, Antara shared the same set of pictures along with an edited caption. However, the particular point about going through 14 rounds of interviews became an instant topic of trolling, with many even opposing her claims. One of the commenters, claiming to be a former Wipro employee, asserted that there are mostly 4-5 rounds of interviews, while another one, who worked as a Wipro HR, added, “14 rounds at Wipro? There is a maximum of four rounds, including the HR discussion round.” Others too chipped in with similar reactions with comments like “As an ex-Wipro employee, I can vouch that there are max 4–5 rounds of interviews!!” and “14 rounds of interviews? That too just for the developer role… soo funny yaar.”
The Wipro developer has yet to clarify the confusion over her claims. Mandal, who was previously employed with Bajaj Housing Finance Limited, is currently based in Bengaluru.
