Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - It was a walk-in interview at Yantra Park, Thane. It was started around in the morning at 9:30, after the formalities. There were almost 200 field interviewers: maybe around 30 interviewers and just 15 to 20 people from UX. I got the call for an interview at around 3:00 PM. And you won't believe they finished only 5 UX people interviews till then. There are dedicated 3 to 4 interviewers for UX Only. After the Interview, They will tell me that HR will inform you of the result. I asked HR, and she said I would get a call on Monday, but nobody called me—worst experience with TCS.
