Interview Process is pathetic. First round is virtual and Interviewer is good but for second round, they will ask you to come to office and the Interviewer KADHAR will waste your 1 hour even though you give all the correct answers , he will ask you how many offers you have etc and talk to you in sweet manner and ultimately will not select you, just purely a waste of time. PLEASE DONT WASTE CANDIDATES TIME AND RESPECT THEIR TIME.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
