Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Dear job seekers i am sharing my experience:

I cleared L1 in acg which is pure technical round then also attended L2 and it was also quite positive. I responded to all the questions of interviewer correctly. I haven’t got any response after that even though i tried to call HR also sent an email but no response at all.
Highly disappointed because we also spent our valuable time for preparing/attending interviews so its HR’s duty to at-least respond back irrespective of results. I would request candidates to be aware of such companies.
