Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR process is well matured and they know what they are doing.
Often people say the employees leave their bosses, not the organization.
We need to add one more - people won't join a boss, even though the organization is a great.
I had this so called boss in one of the round, with high 'why should I hire you attitude'. Truly the success of the company got into his brain, probably he's long timer ;-) but sure he knows some/many concepts wrong and he makes an argument. I told I beg to differ and you can check, I know for sure he's not open for learning and don't want to check either. I know for sure he won't recommend for the next round, exactly the same thing happened. I wouldn't have joined him either.
Telling about myself and asking questions to an interviewer, telling about the job I worked at recently.
In addition, there were coding and architecture questions.
Overall the interview was average, the people were nice and it was a good experience.
An easy tech interview starting with a friendly chat, simple coding questions, and clear expectations. The interviewer guides you, values problem solving, and focuses on understanding rather than trick questions.
First online assessment and then recruiter screen call. The position was filled before I could move forward with the technical rounds. The communication was quite simple and easy forward for everyone.
