Interview Preparation Tips
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - HR called for basic discussions and interview setup.
First round - mainly about your work experience. They want to see if your past experience suits their profile.
Second round - more technical and project management situation based questions. They want to see how you approach and handle the situations as a PM.
HR call for salary discussion and DOJ.
The interviews were very conversational and relaxed. Don't panic and just answer the questions in STAR format.

Interview Preparation Tips
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I wrote this interview experience to let people know that "it's not over until it's over "
I mean to say that until u get the offer letter and join the company u aint got the job man.
I was told by the hr that I had cleared the manager round and iam selected and they would contact me later and she also said if there is hr round we will conduct it or else this is it (actually they do conduct for salary discussion but they didn't I don't know why but they did it the last time I got interviewed for the same role few months back). They didn't contact me for about 20 days. I was running out of patience and I mailed to the hr but no reply but I was a fool who had a attitude that its not over until it's over lol. I mailed to the company for about 2 weeks that too to multiple hr but still not a single response. With some networking I got the hr contact no and texted her for an update she said the position is on hold and we will revert back in 2 weeks. After 2 weeks she said they r unable to offer at this point of time. Then wt was the point of conducting the drive man. Seriously I didn't reply to her left it on seen and u know what there was no official clarification from the company side just a WhatsApp text lol. This was my 11th interview and they finally made me feel how it feels when u get the job without getting the job. Thank u akamai for this experience.
