14 Interview Rounds? Developer's Wipro Selection Story Triggers Online Discussion
Last Updated:
Antara Mandal, in a now-edited post, claimed that she cleared 14 rounds of interviews before bagging the job of a developer at a Bengaluru company.
Applying for a job can often feel like running a marathon, with companies laying out a number of obstacles in the name of interview rounds. It might be true that recruiters often come up with their own way of conducting interviews; the process can get tiring due to countless rounds of questions and answers. One such instance of a job interview has stirred a debate on the Internet after a woman claimed to have cleared 14 rounds of interviews before bagging her 'dream" job.
In a now-deleted Instagram thread, Antara Mandal shared pictures of herself at a Wipro campus, proudly posing at her new company. Besides selfies inside the company building and its premises, Antara also shared a picture of her office ID card, offering it as proof of her new employment. In one of the photos, she could be standing indoors in front of a large Wipro logo, posing with both hands, and maintaining a big smile on her face. Dressed in a light yellow top and blue jeans, a Wipro employee badge is visible around her neck.
'After clearing 14 rounds of an interview, I have finally been selected for the 'DEVELOPER' role in 'WIPRO.' I create my own sunshine. Dreams are not what you see in your sleep; dreams are those that don't let you sleep," she reportedly wrote in her caption, as quoted by Livemint.
In another post on Instagram, Antara shared the same set of pictures along with an edited caption. However, the particular point about going through 14 rounds of interviews became an instant topic of trolling, with many even opposing her claims. One of the commenters, claiming to be a former Wipro employee, asserted that there are mostly 4-5 rounds of interviews, while another one, who worked as a Wipro HR, added, '14 rounds at Wipro? There is a maximum of four rounds, including the HR discussion round." Others too chipped in with similar reactions with comments like 'As an ex-Wipro employee, I can vouch that there are max 4–5 rounds of interviews!!" and '14 rounds of interviews? That too just for the developer role… soo funny yaar."
The Wipro developer has yet to clarify the confusion over her claims. Mandal, who was previously employed with Bajaj Housing Finance Limited, is currently based in Bengaluru.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says Anthropic CEO is very wrong, and on almost everything he said about AI: Don't do it in a dark room and tell me ...
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang strongly refuted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's predictions regarding AI-driven job automation during a press briefing. Huang dismissed Amodei's claim that AI could eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, advocating for transparent AI development. While acknowledging job transformation, Huang emphasized AI's potential to create new opportunities and boost productivity. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed sharp disagreement with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 's predictions about AI-driven job automation during a press briefing at VivaTech in Paris. Huang specifically challenged Amodei's recent claim that AI could eliminate up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, dismissing the notion as overly alarmist. 'I pretty much disagree with almost everything [Amodei] says,' Huang stated, critiquing three key points he attributed to Amodei: that AI is so dangerous only a select few should develop it, that it's too costly for widespread development, and that its power will lead to massive job losses. 'If you want things to be done safely and responsibly, you do it in the open … Don't do it in a dark room and tell me it's safe,' Huang added, advocating for transparent and collaborative AI development. What Anthropic CEO said on AI Amodei, in a recent Axios interview, had warned that AI could disrupt half of entry-level office roles and urged policymakers to prepare for economic impacts. Huang countered that while AI will transform jobs, it will also create new opportunities, citing increased productivity as a driver for hiring. 'Some jobs will be obsolete, but many jobs are going to be created,' he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 선납금·위약금 없이 벤츠를 원하는 기간만큼 이용하세요. 계약 만료시 반납, 인수 모두 가능합니다. 써치오토모빌 더 알아보기 Undo Anthropic on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's statement In response, an Anthropic spokesperson clarified to Fortune that Amodei has never claimed only Anthropic should build AI. 'Dario has advocated for a national transparency standard for AI developers … so the public and policymakers are aware of the models' capabilities and risks,' the statement read. The spokesperson reaffirmed Amodei's concerns about AI's economic impact and his commitment to addressing them. Anthropic, founded in 2021 by Amodei and other ex-OpenAI researchers, prioritizes safety in AI development, a focus rooted in the founders' reported concerns over OpenAI's direction. The public clash between Huang and Amodei highlights ongoing debates in the AI industry about its societal and economic implications. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
