Process

I got call for technical interview 2-3 days after applying online.

Below are points from the interview.

Interviewer was 5 min late.
There was to 2 member panel but one did not join and no reason provided.
The person interviewing was more focused on syntax rather than logic.
He asked minute things that are never used in actual automation like what is the super interface of WebDriver. Does it matter if I don't know.
At one point it looked like he had some set of questions and asking from it.
On SQL front he started asking altering tables and more which is a DBA task. When I asked, are you allowed to alter database schema then first he said yes we do so I argued on how come any one allow it and he admitted of using only select statements. He got annoyed of that and might have hurt his ego and resulted in my disqualification.
He was asking questions with Java programs like what will be output of this and that, but syntax only was wrong in that. When I said it's syntax error, he was like consider it's correct.
People can go and find any syntax on Google so just don't test based on syntax. Personally I don't remember all syntax because it's not required.
There is no moral responsibility to revert back with feedback of the interview, even if it's rejected.

Questions

The questions were mostly syntax related.

Pathetic and most partial place

Frontend Software Engineer • Former Employee

January 7, 2021

Pros: Salary is on time. The rest is nothing.

Cons: There are so many cons, if I start it might exceed the word limit of Glassdoor. But to list a few: 1. Hard work is not at all valued. Even if you own the product as your baby and work super hard, they will never promote you or give a good hike. They will always say a bit more...... how much more God knows! 2. There are some managers who do a lot of partialities especially the homegrown folks. They will never entertain the values of employees if they are from other states. Seriously another pathetic way to discriminate against your employees. 3. People of the same state as the manager get promoted even if they don't do so much work. No promotion happens because of the credibility of a person. 4. Very very very poor management. Extremely fluctuating decisions, they really don't know what they want to show to their customers and destroy developers' life by making them work multiple times on the same piece of code. Sometimes no UX design is provided too. 5. Don't ever believe Glassdoor reviews, most of them are by HRs. All are fake. No one loves to work here who are hardworking people and I know many who are just searching for jobs waiting for their time to come. 6. The managers of the US, as well as Pune, are too inhuman. Even if you have an unprecedented problem or someone dies, no one cares. They just want you to come to the office and get stuff done. They might also ask you to take unpaid leave. I can go on but I think I have given enough pointers on why you should stay away from this place.
