Process

My interview was through an employee referral process.

  1. I got a call from HR.
  2. We fixed a date as per our schedules.
  3. I walked in with my CV, passport copies, PAN details, certificates, and 2 copies of photographs.
  4. First, there was a written test on English and technical subjects, with multiple-choice questions.
  5. People who passed were called for a 1:1 technical interview. It lasted for 45 minutes, and basic technical questions were asked.
  6. After clearing the interview, the HR round took place, where salary negotiation occurred.
  7. I got confirmation of selection.
  8. I received the offer letter after 15 days.
  9. I got a call from the relevant team even before joining.
  10. The notice period in my previous company was 2 months, so I joined after 2 months.

People were good and helpful, but it was on a Saturday, and no food was available in the cafeteria. So, I had to starve for the whole day. The process was going slower, as people went for lunch in between. But it had a nice end, as I got the offer. The salary offered was less than what I expected.

Office looks very good; the location is prime and well-reachable. People were communicating in English; regional languages were used less.
