Worst experience. It was a F2F interview which was very badly arranged. Unreasonably lengthy. I was at their office from 10:30 to 6:30 just for two rounds. The technical interview was fine and I cleared it , then they made me wait 4 hours for the next round in which the lady was being unreasonably rude and rushed to finish the interview because she wanted to go home and wouldn’t stop complaining. I received feedback mail the next day full of negative comments and remarks of discussion that didn’t even take place. They will call you for an interview just to waste your time.
