Excruciating and Painful. I got a random call from a recruiter mentioning that they need a Software Engineer for an American Express project and I would be hired by American Express after 6 months of service in TCS as a contractor. Was interviewed by both TCS and American Express employees but the important thing to note was that I received no formal mails from TCS in the whole process, I was being contacted by the recruiter via whatsapp! the approach by TCS was highly unprofessional and disorganized. After about two months of interviewing and 3 interviews I was told unofficially that I will be given an offer this again was an informal communication over whatsapp! After this nobody contacted me for about 2 more months and then I received a random mail by a third party that TCS does not engage in hiring candidates in the US and this third party would hire me instead. I got infuriated and did not get any formal offer from this third party as well. A month from this event I was asked if I was still interested in this position (this is without them sending me any sort of mail or offer letter again all on whatsapp!). I went ahead and said no as I did not want to undergo more on this route of unprofessional-ism from them! Did a big mistake interviewing with this company.
