Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - HR will low ball you. Even though salary expectation are confirmed before technical discussion, they will low ball you in HR round. Also they will offer you one level below designation than your experience. Even when you point this, they will argue that nothing can't be done. But as soon as you say no to opportunity, they will agree for it as favour.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don’t schedule for an interview with Ellie Mae. They will schedule all of the interviews at odd times and finally they will put you on hold. It has happened with me and many of my friends that after 5-6 rounds of interview they put profile on hold and will never get back to you. I have a feeling that they are just trying to create a name for themselves in market and they don’t have any actual positions open with them.
Hope it will save lot of time for you and will save you from unwanted tension.
