Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Avoid, they give only fixed salary hikes. Interview process was on site during December and HR's delayed it by an hour, nor were they considerate enough regarding the timings. Had 3 rounds of interview. Was told i was selected and they couldn't finalize offer on the same day because HR's had left at the end of the day. When i followed with HR's in the coming weeks, they confirmed selection and had discussion on salary expectations. They said they would roll out offer in 2 days, nut later said it was delayed due to December holidays. When i followed up on Jan, they said there was hiring freeze, HR made excuses why they couldn't inform me.
