Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Guys, this company is trash. These guys are so unprofessional and the company is full of youngsters. Our interviewer was a 24 year old guy, lol. So, here goes my experience: We were called in the early morning and the mu Sigma team kept us waiting for about 5 hours. The first round was an aptitude round which was called as muAPT. I cleared the 'muAPT' exam. Next round was the CASE STUDY ROUND. In the case study round they gave us a problem statement which was of just 1 line. No proper explanation of the problem. So, after we were finished the young 'newbie' interviewer told us that we got the question wrong. Like seriously? After 20 mins you heard everything by nodding your head and then you say that we got the question wrong. I am so glad that I was not selected in this trash company. The online review about your company is so true. So, guys if you are not selected here then you are so lucky. Go for better companies, this is not worth your time.
