Software Engineer Interview Experience - Pune, India

Process

Initially, HR contacted me via phone and arranged for an interview on the weekend.

1st round: Written test (easy)

2nd round: Technical interview (easy to moderate)

Then, I was told that I was put on hold since the requirement was full.

I was again contacted for a technical interview the next weekend.

3rd round: Technical interview along with some general questions (very easy)

4th round: HR interview where salary negotiation would happen. Believe me, they are truly traders; they would fight for even 10k.

Pros: Good interior designs. Goody-goody looking people. Green area outside. Wide variety of food, special canteen building. Managers are very rich; they show it by posting sale ads on company portals.

Cons: If you are a 'fair' girl, then your 'gujju' manager will start a chat session with you in the parking basement. But that's OK; that is what his job is called: 'line' manager. Another thing, if you are decent, then other project people start stalking you, making you feel like you're still in college.
