Smartworks (DLF Cyber City) — Attraction in Hyderabad

I went to an interview today at DLF GlobalLogic company for the role of Associate Analyst. The timings mentioned in the email were 9:00 to 11:00 am. I arrived on time, but the security guards stopped all of us because we were supposed to enter the building with an OTP, after which they would give us a pass to enter the company. The GlobalLogic people are aware of this gate pass or OTP system since they are members of the company. I reached there on time, but they didn’t provide OTPs to all of us. After 25(9:25 am) minutes I mailed HR Riya Sinha about the situation out the gate. After 40 minutes, they generated OTPs for a few people and referral candidates, who were then allowed to enter the company. We kept asking the security to let us in, but it wasn’t until much later that they finally allowed us into the reception hall. Even then, we all checked our OTPs with the receptionists, but they still hadn’t been generated. The remaining candidates waited there until 12:00 PM, repeatedly asking the company to provide the OTPs, but it didn’t happen. Eventually, many left the interviews and went back, but I stayed and again requested security regarding the situation. Finally, an OTP was provided to me by one of the company members as I am the only one left behind , and I was able to enter at 12:00 PM. I explained the OTP delay and mentioned that others had left, but one of the staff members asked me to wait because the first batch was still in process. After another hour, around 1:00 PM, I went to submit my resume to an HR representative named Riya Sinha (short, white, and with short hair). She rudely asked me why I was late and how she could accept my resume now. I politely explained the entire situation and the time I had waited, but she rudely shouted at me and asked who had provided the OTP, saying she wanted to check with her team. Her behavior was extremely hurtful. She acted as if she owned the company, as if she was providing all the salaries from her pocket and giving jobs to poor candidates. It was the worst behavior I have ever seen from an HR professional. She is a black mark not just for HR professionals but also for women's too. At first, aggressively and with full irritation she said she didn’t know how long it would take to complete the interviews for the first batch, and it might take until night, so I should wait. I thanked her and went back to my seat. Then I submitted my resume to another staff member of the recruiting team. After waiting another three hours, a staff member called all the remaining candidates except me for the interview. I approached the same staff member to know why my name was missing. He asked me to wait two minutes to check my status, then simply replied that the rude HR woman RIYA SINHA did not select my resume for an interview though I am highly qualified for that role. I was frustrated inside and politely asked why I wasn’t informed earlier. Waiting for 7 hours only to be rejected is not correct without even interviewing me. Another Sir came and apologized on behalf of her worst behavior. I explained how impolite she had treated me, and he acknowledged it, saying that she was his boss and that he couldn’t go against her. This made it clear how abrupt she is regarded by her colleagues. The same Sir then asked for my email to contact me for future projects, but I thanked him with gratitude and declined his offer and provided feedback on how they could treat candidates better, with at least a minimum of common sense. I then left the company.

1 Provide OTPs: Ensure all invited candidates receive OTPs on time. 2 Reception Check: Coordinate with reception to confirm the presence of candidates without OTPs. 3 Clear Instructions: Inform candidates whether to stay or leave if OTPs aren’t provided. 4 Professional Conduct: Treat candidates with basic respect; rudeness is unacceptable. 5 Interview Status: Clearly communicate whether candidates will be interviewed or not. 6 Stay Professional: She should mind her duties and not behave as if they...

Title: A Vibrant Commercial Hub - DLF SEZ Hyderabad

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

DLF SEZ in Hyderabad is a bustling commercial hub that offers a vibrant business environment and a range of amenities. As a visitor to this Special Economic Zone (SEZ), I had the opportunity to explore its various offerings and found it to be a commendable destination for professionals and businesses alike.

One of the key strengths of DLF SEZ is its strategic location. Situated in the heart of Hyderabad, it provides easy accessibility and connectivity to major transportation networks, making it convenient for both employees and clients. The infrastructure and facilities within the SEZ are well-maintained and modern, reflecting a professional and sophisticated atmosphere.

The SEZ boasts a diverse mix of companies and industries, creating a vibrant ecosystem of businesses. This diversity fosters collaboration, networking opportunities, and knowledge-sharing among professionals from different domains.

The amenities within DLF SEZ are impressive. The availability of well-designed office spaces, conference rooms, and common areas ensures that businesses have the necessary infrastructure to operate efficiently. Additionally, the presence of restaurants, cafes, and retail outlets provides convenience and options for employees and visitors.

However, there are a few areas where DLF SEZ could further improve. One aspect is the availability and accessibility of parking spaces. At times, finding a parking spot within the SEZ can be challenging, especially during peak hours. Enhancing the parking facilities would greatly benefit the visitors and employees.

Furthermore, it would be advantageous to have more recreational spaces or green areas within the SEZ. Such spaces can provide a refreshing environment for employees to relax, rejuvenate, and foster a better work-life balance.

Overall, DLF SEZ in Hyderabad offers an attractive environment for businesses, with its strategic location, well-maintained infrastructure, and diverse business ecosystem. It is a place where professionals can thrive, collaborate, and expand their horizons. With some improvements in parking facilities and the addition of recreational spaces, DLF SEZ could further enhance the experience for its occupants...

DLF CyberCity Hyderabad in Gachibowli is a standout commercial campus that impresses at first sight—modern, sprawling, and green in both its landscaping and its energy use. Spread across 26 acres, its three imposing office blocks house nearly 3 million sq ft of Grade‑A workspace, complete with basement parking and sleek marble‑finished atriums.

What really elevates CyberCity is its commitment to sustainability and well‑being. It operates wholly on renewable power—solar, principally—earning 100 % green energy status. It’s also India’s first LEED Zero Waste and LEED Zero Water certified office park, diverting over 90 % of waste and recycling 550,000 kl of rainwater annually. MERV‑14 air filtration, a disaster‑recovery operations room, 24/7 CCTV, dedicated fire‑tender, ambulance, and polyclinic facilities add serious safety credentials.

On the amenities front, there’s a centrally‑air‑conditioned 600‑seat food court with shops, banks, and a pharmacy—plus a creche, auditorium, sports hub, and shuttle services. And for those craving street‑food energy, the famous late‑night “Eat Street” outside Gate 3 serves shawarmas, momos, Maggi, and idlis until midnight—vibrant but also polarizing, as some users praise the variety while others warn of hygiene issues.

Connectivity is another win: just 4 km from HITEC City, close to Outer Ring Road and Raidurg Metro, with a 30‑minute drive to the airport. Public transport, feeder buses and ‘She Shuttle’ offer added convenience. Offices like Cognizant, TIBCO, Genpact, CSC, GlobalLogic and more have established their presences here.

In summary: DLF CyberCity offers a forward‑looking workspace combining premium infrastructure, top‑tier safety, and ambitious sustainability—perfect for Fortune 500s and growing tech firms. The only real caveat: external street‑food zones, though exciting, may lack in hygiene and can get crowded—and parking for external visitors could be improved . If those factors don’t deter you, this hub delivers on all modern office‑campus fronts: ecological,...
