This was my worst experience for the interview process.

At first, the HR approached me over call for a React JS UI Developer role. I confirmed with HR thrice over call that since my skill is only React JS, they should please confirm whether I can appear for the interview or not, and she said yes.

When I went there, there were more than 100 candidates with different skills. My first round went well, but after that, they started asking me that since I have no skills in Java or Spring Boot, they "can't" take my candidature forward. They asked me to wait. I waited for 2 hours, and then I complained to one HR head about this: if they don't need any React JS resource, why have they called me?

Now, the real plot begins. The HR person convinced me that he would consider my request and then began my second round. In this round, there were several technical experts sitting in the "cafeteria," and they started discussing among themselves (in front of me) that no one was willing to take my interview. Then an interviewer came, asked me two simple theoretical questions, and left for lunch. He finally came back after 30 minutes and said, "Your interview is over."

I again complained that everyone was just fulfilling the formality of taking my interview. Then I had two more rounds of interview with some non-technical experts for 5-7 minutes, and finally, they asked me to leave.

"How can my skills be tested in 5 minutes?" The morale goes down if you are answering a question and the interviewer leaves in between. The depressing environment it had there had put my confidence down.

When you know you cannot be selected even if you answer all questions, there is no point in taking fake interviews or telling the candidate to wait until 5 in the evening with no reasons. The HR person who contacts over call should exactly tell the skill set required because sometimes we travel for hours to appear for an interview, and when we see all this, we at last find ourselves at the point where we stand nowhere.

Asked questions about Java, though I mentioned that my skillset is not Java.
