I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Emami Limited (Calcutta) in Mar 2025
Interview
It was a fairly comprehensive evaluation process where firstly a virtual interview mostly based on technical questions to understand my legal knowledge was held with the Head of the Legal department.
This was followed by a brief call with the HR after a few days and eventually a face to face interview was set up with the President, Legal which was a candid conversation including my personality, professional and personal life goals and aspirations and a major part of it included discussions on prevailing nepotism and gender inequality in the profession.
While I did not appreciate the major focus on gender roles in the profession, I believe it came from a genuine place and was more of a fact of the matter kind of discussion and definitely not focused on me or my candidature.
I appreciate the conversation that I had. It was very insightful and intriguing.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How will you manage your professional role if and when you get married? Don't you think added responsibilities after marriage would be an issue with the demands of this role?
Ideally your reporting manager wants a male candidate but we are not finding a male candidate who would be good for this job. What do you think, would you be able to match up to that expectation? Don't you think this is a profession that is better off for the other gender?
2,3 members take interview. Interview level is moderate and maximum questions are form basics. The members of the interview panels were modest and they are very experienced and knowledgeable. My interview took approximately 40minutes. They checked my knowledge almost in all area of my study. They also questioned from my course projects and went to very depth of the subjects.
