Questions d'entretien chez Tech Data

Unprofessional Hiring Process Complete Disregard for Candidates Role Applied For: Business Development Manager Mumbai Interview Rounds Completed: 2 out of 6 Status: Ghosted after Round 2 ⭐ Overall Experience: 1/5 I want to share my experience so other candidates know what to expect before investing their time and energy into this process. I was contacted by the Talent Acquisition team for a Business Development Manager role based in Mumbai. I attended Round 1 as an in-person interview at their Powai office which required me to travel 61 km from my location. I prepared thoroughly, showed up on time, and gave the interview professionally. I was then scheduled for Round 2 a virtual interview with the Director of Business Development. I prepared for this round as well, researched the company deeply, understood their product portfolio, their Destination AI initiative, their vendor partnerships, and came ready to have a serious business conversation. The round happened as scheduled. That was over a week ago. Since then complete silence. No update. No rejection email. No acknowledgment that I even exist. I followed up with the recruiter multiple times — calls, messages. Nothing. Not a single response. This is not about being rejected. Rejection is completely fine and a normal part of any hiring process. This is about basic professional courtesy that Tech Data's Talent Acquisition team clearly does not believe candidates deserve. Two interview rounds. 61 km of travel. Hours of preparation. And you can't send a single line saying "we've moved forward with another candidate"? That's not being busy. That's being disrespectful. What this experience tells me about the company culture: if this is how they treat people during the hiring process before they've even joined imagine how dispensable employees feel once they're inside. I'm glad I found out now. To any candidate reading this before applying go in with your eyes open. Prepare well if you choose to interview, but don't expect the same professionalism in return. And to Tech Data's leadership your recruiters are the first impression of your brand. Right now, that impression is poor. I wish the team well. But this experience was beneath the standard of any organization that claims to value people.
