Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Pune, India

July 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

This was the worst interview process I have ever been through. When I received a call after my resume was shortlisted, it was clear that I had never worked on WCF and WPF.

When I went for the interview on July 13th, 2019, in Magarpatta, I learned that the interviewer was currently working in Hinjewadi, Pune, and couldn't even speak good English. He conducted my interview in a native language.

Basic questions on OOPS, JavaScript, and .NET were asked at the start. Even after stating 2-3 times that I hadn't worked on WCF and WPF, the same technology questions were posed. It seemed like they expected the "book definition" answers, while I was trying to explain concepts with examples.

After the first round, HR came and told me that the feedback was negative and I needed to brush up my skills. I asked her what went wrong, as I answered almost all questions with proper examples, except for those related to WCF and WPF, but I received no proper answer.

Later, I found out that WCF was a requirement for the role. HR recruiters should match the skills in the job description before shortlisting candidates.
