I had a really bad experience while interview. The interview process took more than 2 months having 5 rounds and after the HR negotiation and salary discussion, they rolled out thr offer. After 2 days I again got a call saying that position in on hold due to Financial year ending. If they knew FY is ending then why did they initiate the interview at the same time? I dropped my papers as well based on the HR conversation and offer. Very Unprofessional.

Job security - Good

Entire interview process in not good. They take so long for each round and at last when all goes well last minute they cancelled the role. Worst experience ever.
