Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interviewer was Sridhar Kethari.
His intention for the interview was not recruitment. He wanted to digout some intellectual idea from me (Interviewee), so might he can use it in his work. Neither he had any knowledge on aerospace standards and requirement.

He was not at all prepared with the interview questions and argued on wrong facts to prove he was correct because he was the interviewer. In technical questions, his negative attitude did not work. So he came down to an extend of hypocrisy asking questions in "ODD TONE", why did i left company X and company Y ???

Again, the interviewer's intention was not hiring. Mr. Sridhar Kethari had a negative attitude and behaviour in the complete interview process. I will always avoid working in such workplace and with such person (Mr. Sridhar Kethari) being my manager.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was interviewed with Eaton by Pradeep Birader. He introduced himself as some manager. Twice interview was postponed. Later in the interview Mr. Pradeep Biradar started showing his true colour with absolutely absurd questions.

What happens if someone senior in the company doesn’t share technical facts, what will you do??? Management wants you to deliver from first day! All such absurd and nonsense question.

Then he switched his question, what if 70% documentation work given to you for next 2 years, what will you do?
Obviously management should know this better!


All kind of baseless and nonsense questions from the interviewer. Do not know authenticity and credibility of these person. As if he is coming from a roadside slum.

My answer was clear, if someone not willing to share technical details of project than leadership should take care of this. If 70% of documentation work is there, you must hire a technical writer.

Then clearly I showed my disinterest for this position!

This is how some incompetent and incredible people spoils good positions and working culture of good companies.
