I received a call from a consultancy based in Delhi or Noida.

The interview was a scheduled walk-in in Electronic City, Bangalore.

On the first day, I waited for 2-3 hours for the first round. Two people were on that panel. They asked questions about programming languages and the automation tools I have used, along with how I applied them in my projects.

The funny thing is, they asked puzzle questions that were previously asked in Google interviews.

During that round, one person left, and two more joined. They then started asking questions again.

By the time the first round concluded, it was lunchtime. They served free lunch, which was the only good thing about that place.

After lunch, I had the second technical round. Again, it involved some technical questions and some puzzles. The interviewers for the second panel were good. They asked me to explain my project architecture and framework on a whiteboard.

The third round was an HR round, for namesake. The HR person wasn't asking genuine professional questions; it sounded more like he was passing the time. Not good.

They gave me an employment form to fill out and asked me to return for one more managerial round on a weekday.

The worst part was that the lady who scheduled the interview said they were ready to offer what I had demanded.

However, the HR person said, "Not a chance you will get it. The lady has lied to you, and blah-blah."

That sounded unprofessional again.

On Tuesday, they called me in for that panel. One manager and one more lady conducted the interview. They were both good and nice, and they asked technical questions only.

They also asked normal questions like why I wanted to leave my current job and other generic stuff.

Again, money was a concern. The manager said, "We don't pay this much. If someone had promised you, they have lied to you."
