I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page (Mumbai)
Interview
January 2018: The interview process lasted a little over 2 weeks. From the very start, it was an extremely positive experience with every interviewer at every level being completely honest about both the role and the expectations from the job. What I appreciated most is that they didn't sugar coat any part of it and gave me both the pros and cons of the role which is quite rare in the job market with everyone trying to oversell the company and the role. This way, I was prepared for what I can expect. Very honestly, even if I walk out without an offer, I would be happy to have interacted with the employees I had a chance to meet. They are very driven and knowledgeable about the industry, that itself shows fantastic training and mentoring.
When I say the interview process is difficult I don't mean that with regard to the questions they ask you as they are mostly exploratory but in the way I could see them evaluate me. They can call a bluff very easily and if your observant you can tell that they know when you are sure of an answer and when you are simply beating around the bush. Right from the HR department to the Head of India, everyone was quite helpful and friendly and very approachable.
My experience was so good it almost seems fabricated, but no matter I hope to be part of the company soon and put that update on GlassDoor.

Interview
After going through a phone interview and a face-to-face interview (2 sessions), I was ghosted by the interviewer. No reply or feedback if the application is rejected. Literally just ghosted. A courtesy, template email stating your application is rejected is much appreciated.
