Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - This is a sick company. they donot want to pay . And will go out of way to harass those people who are paid on a higher side (instead of providing them more relevant task). When this company requires resources . they will hire you saying that they are the paymasters and other craps , but when they have alternatives, they'll treat you like shit, they will try to trap you into something bad, I have seen they have been very rude to some employees in a most unimaginable way, They also want that you marry their sick incompetent/outdated systems and never leave if you are less paid . they will not want you to learn anything. They will also access your phone, whatsapp, facebook, and their laptop comes with hidden microphones, so they will have access to your personal life as well.
