I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at IGATE
Interview
Company with No Ethics.
I was interviewed in month of Oct 2015 for project lead position in Raleigh,NC. 2 rounds of interview were completed within 1 week and I got provisional offer letter. Recruiter asked me to hold on for client interview. We will send you final offer letter as soon as we complete client interview round. Client interview is just introduction with them. I was waiting for client interview and did not get any updates. When I started follow up, I did not get proper response. Finally I called recruiter in month of Dec. 2015 and got to know position is no more.
Recruiter could have informed me in my follow up emails. He did not do that. I lost 2 months and did not do job search aggressively.
Igate employee have no ethics to update someone via email regarding position ramp down.
