Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Please don't waste your time for interview in this company. My interviews were postponed most of the times, even before 15 mins of the interview. It was very hectic and even your background was checked before the first round, you will be rejected on any other things like salary expectation. Very rude and unprofessional HRs, I have ever seen (In Pune team). My first round was going on and HR called me, I didn't receive the call. When I called back after the interview, she just shouted that you had an interview today, and you didn't attend. Poor mangement. The HR, named Nikita Deshmukh was very rude. Even put doubt on my collage and company. Without going for a verification, rejected my application on that basis. If it was they supposed to do, it should happened in the resume screening. Complete waste of time.
