I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NTT DATA in Feb 2025
Interview
They interviewer send me an 8 pages questionnaries to me and ask me fill every question to be considered. I spent over 2 hours writing all the answer. Then scheduled an Teams call only to be told I am not good enough to the role. The interviewer is condescending. It is unprofessional to waste candidates hours to answer 8 pages of questionnaries before them doing anything at all. You are also required to disclose reference contact information and how much money you were making from previous years to be considered in the questionnaries I received.
