Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I interviewed at Cross Country Infotech, Pune on 10 Feb 2023. It was mass hiring for Trainee Software Engineer for Java, Angular, React.js. The company is totally horrible and whoever will attend their rounds will get the worst experience of their life ever. Here I will tell you all the details about what happened which interview questions they asked and many more.

There were three rounds of interview
HR Screening
Technical Round
Managerial Round

In job description, the eligibility criteria was given as 2020-2021 and 2022 Passout Only Education: BE/B Tech/MCA/MSc Candidate with non-technical background should be completed with One technical course/Internship/Training

The timing for the interview was 9 AM to 4 PM

I found this job posting on naukri.com.
The first round was HR Screening round. Here, they were shortlisting the resume. In my opinion this round was the most disgusting and horrible round, as what they were doing in first round was not upto what they have described on the job portal. The eligibility criteria they described on portal was graduation and not any other criteria were mentioned, I think because of this reason student have appeared for there drive, but what they did in first round was horrible, in Hr screening they said me that you were having backlogs in your first year that's why you are not eligible for further rounds, I was shocked after I heard that from HR, because for that round I sat for 4 hours, if this was your criteria then why didn't you said it in your job description, you just fooled the people to come for your drive by giving false description on job portal, it was most horrible drive, and also they rejected people who didn't have java certificate specifically, they were not accepting other technology certificates at all. In my opinion this was the first disgusting thing they did to people who have arrived there for interview from very long distance and sat for 4 or 5 hours for their first round of interview, which was HR Screening round. After she told me that I was not eligible, then I convinced her that I have Java certificate and also that backlog thing is past and is not any more, on that she told me to wait for the second round which was Technical Round. So after this I was relived a little bit, but this was something a silence before the storm, more misery was on the way. After 1st round I sat again for 3 hours there, then after that they took my technical round. The interviewer ask me the following questions: 1. What are four pillars of OOPS 2. Give me Real life example of Polymorphism 3. What is difference between Abstract class and Interface. 4. Can we have multi level inheritance in Java 5.

He asked me to write a program to check whether string was Palindrome or not?

Later he asked me some nonsense questions which he himself was not understanding, for those questions I tried my best level to give the information.
This round had gone above 1 hour, nearly like 80 to 90 minutes.
After the Technical Round I asked him for the feedback, he told me that I have a good knowledge of things, as fresher you have lot of understanding. ( as I have given correct answers to his 90% of questions) After this he told me to wait for result of this round.

Then again I waited for 1 hour, then HR came to me and said "You are not selected for the next round, you can leave for today now"

I was soo shocked, It was so much disgusting, as in this Technical Round I have given correct answers to his 90% of questions and also at the end he was happy with my answers and had given me feedback that I have good knowledge, but still they rejected me for 3rd round which was Managerial Round. I filled so much deceived, after such a good feedback they rejected me. What a shameful and disgusting this company could be with no moral and ethical values. I didn't get the answer why they rejected me in 2nd round despite of good performance. That technical round was monstrous, but still I've given correct answers to 90% of his questions. At this day I wasted my total more than 9 hours in that company for horrible experience. I suggest the one who is reading this that this company have no ethics and responsibility to the time of the people, if you are going to give interview to this company I will suggest not to, but if you still are then be prepared for such a worst experience, you may get rejected for unknown reasons even though you have performed very well, like given 100%.

Some warnings about this company:
1. You have to wait a lot for the rounds to happen.
2. This company Cross Country Infotech do not specify proper job description, in screening round, they will reject you for very very very silly reasons, like you had a backlog in your first year even though you are graduated now that doesn't matter, you don't have specific Java certificate.
3. You will get reject even if you answer to 90% of the interviewer questions in Technical round.
4. You will never know why you got rejected even after the best performance.
5. Imagine getting rejected for silly or unknown reasons like this after waiting hours and hours, like 9 hours, you will fill very down and deceived, this company will make your moral down.

At end I will say the Cross Country Infotech company is disgusting and have no moral, ethical or professional values, no value for people and thier time. STAY AWAY STAY SAFE from this Cross Country Infotech company!
