Anyone at Morningstar- looking for a referral and some information on Senior PM roles?
HRs are ghosting with candidates they create hopes
Few days ago I got a call from a morningstar for a Data Analyst role. I cleared my interview and got a positive response from the managers as well but after completing my documentation HR is not responding. Now I'm trying to contact them back to know the joining dates and offer letter but they are not responding over the call nor replying over the mail. Not only have I faced this issue with morningstart. This was followed by multiple organisations HRs YES Bank, Hexaware, etc.
