I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Circana (Pune) in Mar 2026
Interview
I recently went through the interview process at Circana, which involved around five rounds of interviews. The interactions with the interviewers were generally positive, and the discussions were insightful.
However, the overall experience was disappointing due to the length of the process and the final outcome. Despite completing all rounds and having clear communication regarding expectations (including compensation) from the beginning, the process concluded without an offer.
It would be helpful if there was better alignment on key factors like budget and expectations earlier in the process. This could save time and effort for both candidates and the hiring team.
Advice to Management: Consider aligning on compensation expectations and role feasibility early in the hiring process to ensure a smoother and more candidate-friendly experience.
A big appreciation to the HR team for being extremely supportive and helpful throughout the process
