Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interviewer was Sridhar Kethari.
His intention for the interview was not recruitment. He wanted to digout some intellectual idea from me (Interviewee), so might he can use it in his work. Neither he had any knowledge on aerospace standards and requirement.

He was not at all prepared with the interview questions and argued on wrong facts to prove he was correct because he was the interviewer. In technical questions, his negative attitude did not work. So he came down to an extend of hypocrisy asking questions in "ODD TONE", why did i left company X and company Y ???

Again, the interviewer's intention was not hiring. Mr. Sridhar Kethari had a negative attitude and behaviour in the complete interview process. I will always avoid working in such workplace and with such person (Mr. Sridhar Kethari) being my manager.
