Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I had given the interview for Senior Software Engineer at Indegene on May 2024. I cleared the round as well. Mr. Pradeep Kumar was the POC for my recruitment. He confirmed that he's going to schedule the HR the next day after clearing the technical round. Upon calling him the very next day he started ghosting me, ignoring my phone calls, messages and emails. After one month he called me and said "sorry at that time the project went on hold, so we have other new opening are you interested to join". I said yes and had salary discussion as well. He said that I'll be getting the offer letter the very next day. So, I contacted him again the next day, he started ghosting again then on WhatsApp he told that my offer letter is on the final stage of approval and I'll get it by tomorrow. Next day I didn't received anything I tried calling he started ghosting again. So please be aware of this type of company. Its a total waste of time. The management is totally un-professional.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I would suggest not to take interview or join this company . They already have some people who they want to take and they just take some rounds of you and even if it goes extremely good they wont contact you back . Work here is also not good they tell as developer and will make you do devops writing yml files . This is what I heard from people inside . Even if you get this offer don't consider as first choice . This is my advice to people who are looking to apply here
