Automation Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
The hiring process is easy. The recruitment team is outsourced or is converted from another company to inside. It is shocking that recruiters call from Rakuten and first ask your salary and if it is okay that the salary limit is this and that. No talk over the opportunity? Seriously? India centers work like a service company. That's how to not hire good people and perform from a center.
...the bottleneck is here... the talented people will not like service-type recruitment.
