Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Beware Alten India HR are very rude and highly un-professional. They will verbally offer you very less package (almost 60% less than industry standard). Then they will ask you to take decision on the call itself that you will join or not. If you demand that they send the offer on email, It will anger them and they will threaten to drop the offer. I got my offer dropped for asking to send me the offer over email. Assume that the HR does not trust you and will behave condescendingly towards you.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The experience was unprofessional.
I had 3 technical rounds of interviews.
After the second round, I was given a verbal offer and informed that there would be a third round to decide the team and the offer was finalised.
But after the third round, there was no communication for a week. After chasing the HR repeatedly, I was informed that they are not planning to go forward since it's a budget issue.
This should have been informed before ideally if budget was the issue. The verbal offer was provided and asked to accept in few hours only like there was some emergency.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Please don't join Alten Firm. They don't have job security. They will earn from you when you are at client.

Appraisal is distributed only to top management and BDM. Whatever hardwork you do. Company will earn profits and never give it back to you.

Policies are unstable and differs from employee to employees. Even appraisal cycle differs for every employee. One thing to take care. If your deployment from client is over. The next day onwards is considered as notice period which will continue for 3 months.HR will force you to resign.

Your designation doesn't matter to them. Even if you are lead any they have openings for engineer. They will deploy you for engineer at client. Also my pune colleagues told me that they are only driven by client and nothing else. Don't join this firm. It's my honest opinion. Literally people are unhappy here.
