Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Initially, the advertised vacancy was for both senior process associate and process associate positions, however on the day of the walk-in, they clarified that the position was only for a Process associate. The entire selection process took place in the cafeteria, with no designated rooms for HR or Managerial rounds, and interviews were conducted in front of all the candidates. The test seemed to focus more on procedural knowledge rather than its value. The HR round was merely to confirm whether you were genuinely seeking a job and to provide information about the company.

When the manager arrived at 4 clocks, they conducted interviews in the same place reviewed resumes, and emphasized that, as an ISO-certified company, they don't entertain candidates who are only interested in getting an offer letter. They asked for salary slips and explained that the salary structure includes a fixed component (basic salary plus HRA), with the rest considered as allowances. They offered a minimal hike of 1,000 to 2000 INR on your fixed salary. If you agreed, they would connect you with HR for documentation. However, 99% of experienced candidates declined the offer because no one wanted to reduce their value in terms of CTC.

I had a terrible interview experience with this unprofessional and disrespectful company. I strongly advise against attending an interview there as it will likely be a negative experience. Only consider it as a last resort if you are facing extreme rejection and poor conditions. Moreover, they don't offer more than a 3% hike in future appraisals.
