Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - India
August 29, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Very unprofessional behavior. I got a call from HR two times. I took leave on both the days, but no invitation was sent. Not expected from such a prestigious organization. HR should be more professional and courteous towards candidates. They should respect candidates' time as well.
