Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 3rd class process by HR of such a reputed organization. I guess because its the indian wing. These guys don't know how to treat senior mid-senior industry professionals especially from other reputed companies. They reached out to me over LinkedIn always called me from official landlines, conducted two technical rounds-gave very positive feedback in both rounds and absolutely disappeared after that. Multiple followup mails to them have landed on deaf ears. Cant call on personal phones as they never shared those numbers anyway.
