I was called in for an interview at the headquarters on a weekday. Had to take a leave from the office. First I was given a mcq test based on spring, hibernate, Java,sal. Most of the questions were cramming based. I was selected for 1st round face to face interview. This interviewer was good, he asked basic questions in Java on static and this keyword. Difference in arraylist and linked list and how to choose between them. It took place for 15-20 mins and then 2nd f2f round happened. This guy asked me every possible cramming based question out of spring hibernate, only when he asked me basic logical questions on Java and DS, I was able to give answers. Then I was shortlisted for third round as well. It was with an hiring manager, he seemed very intelligent and asked very relevant questions based on my profile and work ex. But when it came to hiring, he said that the company could never afford to pay my expected CTC. He said that they cannot even match my current CTC. I was shocked as to these things should be taken care before even calling a candidate for an interview. :| . the he apologized and said sorry for wasting my time and asked me to wait. He told me that he will talk to the HR and the HR will let me know if anything could be done. I was waiting at the reception and receptionist told me to leave after sometime. I was shocked at the level of poor management and conduct at the company. The HR didn't even come to talk to me, someone who they were about to hire. Very depressing place to be in.
