Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I always suggest staying away from these companies commonly referred to as WITCH (Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, HCL). You will rarely encounter good interviewers there unless there is an extreme necessity. Interview was judging me on the basis of syntex by seeing in his phone. How can everyone write each and everything on copy. For the low level design first time in my 6 years carrier someone asked to design without using kafka or any other library like spring boot to achieve that add in reminder list problem 😂. At first it was my bad after holding a offer of almost 27 lakh I somehow agreed for giving interview. Second thing I also know that after Even clearing they cannot afford 30LPA which I asked. I just went there because from last 6.5 year I have never attended any walking or face to face interview so was curious for it. Currently also working with somewhat premium product development company only. My experience was very bad. May be it can get vary person to person.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't join or even I would suggest not to apply or give interview to this pathetic company. I have cleared all my 4 rounds of interview including HR out of which 3 technical and 1 HR. 3 held on video conferencing and one face to face for which I have travelled almost 40 kms from my current location and they said without face to face they cannot proceed hence I had no option left but to travel, then when I entered into the office again put a laptop infront of me which is again video conferencing then I didn't understand why exactly they called me if they want to have it over video online.

Then after putting my lot of time and efforts when finally it comes to release the offer, then they stop picking up the calls and stop responding and the final excuses which I got from them for not releasing the offer is that their software will not allow them to release any offer which is more that 2 days of joining.

Such a pathetic company who even don't know that atleast if you are not releasing the offer, it's your duty to atleast tell the person that either they are not able to provide the compensation as discussed or they are looking parallelly for someone who can settle in less compensation.

Due to all this I have wasted almost my 3-4 weeks of time expecting that I will receive the offer, and didn't focus on other organisations which was ready to provide slightly lower than this.

Hence it's a total scam which is going here suggesting not to get trapped otherwise you will not only waste your time but also other good opportunities as well.

It's a total boycott for me, expecting the same from your end as well, so that they will understand that playing with someone's job is not a joke.
