Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 1st see if you are cleared the aptitude test or not. If not cleared then don't go for next round. Because they give preference to aptitude test not you face interview, you experience, your skills are nothing if you won't clear aptitude. Also aptitude can only solve that person who is talented in math other don't try to solve. Also the interview, calling, selection and feedback process is very slow. So don't keep so much hope with such company.
