I came across this position on one of the job boards and applied. The Recruiter then reached out to me to understand more about my background, past experience. The recruiter then scheduled 2 interviews. The first interview was with 2 members of the Team. Questions were not that difficult, mostly scenario based and delving into my background, and experience. They were trying to get a sense of if the candidate would be a good fit for the role or not. The feedback from this interview was positive and I was called for the second round. The second round of interviews was with a person in a Leadership position. Again, the interviewer here was trying to determine what the candidate can bring to the table considering the projects that the Team would be involved in. The interviewer was polite and respectful. There was, however a particular question which made me feel slightly awkward and a bit annoyed to be honest. The question was "Why did you move back to India from the US? It is normally the other way round" I was totally dumbstruck by this line of questioning. Was the interviewer trying to imply that India is inferior in some way as a country? I may be wrong, and I would happily admit that I am, however statements like the above don't help and reveal an inherent thinking that is deep rooted. Mind you, this particular position was based in India. Apart from this utterly bizarre question, the rest of the interview was ok. After this, there was no feedback from the recruiter. After radio silence of about a week, I messaged the recruiter and received a very generic response that the Hiring Team decided not to move forward with my application. No reason. No specific feedback. Overall, it was an okay experience interviewing for this role. The interviewers did a good job trying to determine the right fit for the position. They could definitely do better though in terms of providing comprehensive feedback and not asking any controversial questions as to why an individual decided to leave a country and move back to their motherland (and implicitly suggesting that this was a wrong decision).
