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.
