Job interviews are often cold and anxiety-inducing, but this Redditor’s experience with a walk-in interview was made rather wholesome – with a samosa and a juice bottle.
In a viral post, a Gurugram techie shared that he had attended a walk-in interview he came across on LinkedIn.
The Redditor said he had “no preparation, nothing” for the interview, and had just gone to “test my software skills and how to deal with interview questions” for the sake of getting to know the job market and the working and lifestyle at other companies.
However, the techie was met with a glad surprise at the walk-in interview when the company offered the interviewees samosa and juice.
Social media users found it somewhat humorous and quipped that the initial pampering by companies may mean “peanuts for salary”.
“Interview in juice. Salary in peanuts. Yay!” one netizen joked.
Another added, “My company also did the same, and in the orientation also after selection. After joining, I was made a dog.”
“One more samosa mang ke dekho, let’s test what’s the max,” a user quipped.
Another user said, “Job nhi toh samosa hi sahi. I am taking something back with me. Much appreciated move.”
“The whole company didn’t give it brother…when I had to walk in the interview in my last company, even going to the washroom on my own in the vehicle was not possible and drinking water was also not possible,” added another user.
However, a few users said that such firms are rare, and the Redditor should seize the opportunity without worrying about the pay.
“You just don’t have to care about the salary they offer, I guarantee they’ll treat you better,” a user said.
“Very nice gesture by a company. Such small actions reflect the company’s culture and help build a positive image. I think these small things are always remembered by a candidate. Additionally, the presentation is very informal; it lacks a corporate feel. Good work, whichever company this is,” a user highlighted.
“It’s a good gesture by the company,” said another user.
Another added, “Hospitality Pro Max.”
“This is a nice gesture, the company must be employee-friendly!!” a netizen added.
“This company knows the value of the employees,” said another user.
