Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The policy and management is horrible. Lots of loopholes they can play around with. I work for the IP-HNI bangalore team. Attrition is too high and lots of politics that goes inside. I would suggest not to join if you get an offer for that particular team as after 6 months you will be trapped by those unrealistic policies and so call (1 person ) team's politics.
