Process
Phone Screen then Onsite Interview. HR did not ask where I was located. I had to travel 3 hours via bus; they did not expense the hotel nor the bus.
The lunch was a cold sandwich and chips. They also have this very old-fashioned policy: if you didn't pass the morning interviews, they will ask you to leave after lunch.
All the interviewers were like robots; they asked the same cliché questions as if they cared, and by the end of the interview, they didn't even remember my name. Terrible experience!
