Even the hiring process of Indian companies is exploitative 😐

I have for the past couple of months gone through really pathetic and exploitative behaviour of the Indian companies (especially startups).

They ask to do extensive assignments, wasting a lot of time, just because they have an upper hand Then they completely ghost candidates with no response (most times) / delayed response

This is really pathetic. Lack of empathy just shows how immature and under-developed you are. If you ask someone to invest their time, you have the responsibility of timely and proper communication.

ALMOST ALL STARTUP HIRING MANAGERS AND HR TEAMS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS.

This is also being done by so called Great Place To Work companies. The hiring culture and employee culture both have deteriorated in last 2 years

Not to mention most of the times these assignments are the problems they are facing themselves and want an outsider's perspectives/ free ideas on how to solve them

Your mental health isn't worth a slightly higher base pay in slice

A few people who are in advanced stages of the process and/or have offers from slice have been asking me whether it's a good idea to join.
