Recent interview experiences for dev role

Interview experience and unfair practices If luck is not in your favour, you might do everything right and still not get selected. Here's my experience so far with a few companies I had bad experience with : #Nielsen - Did not revert back to me for almost a month. When they did, they kept another round of interview as my final round and communicated that I was selected. After taking all the documents, they scheduled yet another round with the director and said it will be the final round. Then again, they reached out to me saying we need to keep another round for formality and would not be technical. To my surprise, it was indeed a technical discussion that I was completely unprepared for. The last communication came from them that they CANNOT match my expectations on the compensation as the last round didn't go well. #UIPath All my interview rounds went really well and in fact in one of the rounds the manager gave me an informal confirmation that I will be hired. But then, HR reached out to me that one of the rounds didn't go well and hence they will need to reschedule it. I was okay with that and prepared really well, but during the interview the interviewer did not ask much of technical questions. It was a design round and he was not even interested in the question or my solution. I had to ask him explicitly if he wants me to go through the solution. As a result, the decision was negative. #Twilio Same story as UIPath #Rakuten The interview process took 1 month. I finished all the rounds and HR communicated that the result was positive and asked to submit the documents. HR ghosted me for a week and then informed me that the last round didn't have a positive feedback and hence can't proceed with my position. When I asked her why it was communicated positively earlier, she simply denied it. #F5 Networks They took all my rounds, including the cultural fitment. The director told me during his discussion that he is looking forward to me joining the team. HR expedited the process to finish all my rounds early as the position was urgent and said she will rollout the offer soon. Then, two weeks passed and no response from them. Later, she informed me that they decided to go against other candidate as he came through some referrals. # HPE It has happened twiced that the HR called saying my profile is shortlisted and was behind me to submit the application so that they can schedule the interview. After submitting the application, I got a rejection mail within a week. #Infracloud I went till the last round. It was taken by a female lead who was extremely unprofessional, and asked questions about the keywords that she knew. If I answered with the correct explanation and theory, she would only see if the keyword matches else reject my answers. These experiences shatters a person's confidence completely. And makes you wonder, even with right skills, amazing interview feedbacks, things can still go wrong and you have no control over it. But I wish the interview processes are fair, and one gets what they struggle for.

China Tests AI Models for Compliance with Core Socialist Values

- Chinese government officials are rigorously testing AI models to ensure they align with core socialist values, expanding the country's censorship regime. - The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) is conducting mandatory reviews of AI models from major tech companies like ByteDance, Alibaba, and start-ups such as Moonshot and 01.AI. - The review process includes batch-testing AI responses to politically sensitive questions and examining training data and safety protocols. - China's stringent approval process has led AI developers to implement extensive censorship measures, including filtering training data and building sensitive keyword databases. - Despite the strict regulations, Chinese officials aim to avoid AI models that completely dodge political topics, setting limits on the number of questions AI can decline during safety tests.

Grapevine marketing strategy ethically wrong?

Get these adda from Grapevine very commonly on LinkedIn : 1. If I tap on the add, it doesn't take me to the post (I have the app installed already) rather takes me to the Play Store. 2. Even if i search for these keywords, I will never find a post related to them using the search. Ain't this ethically wrong and something like "White hat Junior" marketing strategy. Attractive headlines that are actually total lies? PS : Have tried these many times with different advertisements. They will always be something that will lure you but actually no such posts made.
