      Interviews were very easy and it felt like I got it until one day the "Thank you" email strikes. They kept me waiting for 44 days and told me I received favorable feedback from the HM. Worst experience ever.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WD in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Cleared 1st round & 2nd round in a span of 1 week. Later, they literally ghosted me for 10 days without any response. When I called back to the HR, I was told that my result is in hold as I have 30+ days of notice period to still serve. Even after 20 days, when I called them HR's don't have nerve to tell the next process for offer letter. Worst experience ever had!
