21,060 architect interview questions shared by candidates

This has been the most weird experience in my life. The recruiter calls me discuss my work and invites me for the interview. Entire schedule of the interview is communicated in the mail and it goes as follows: --They dont compromise on time. So, the candidate will have to appear only on weekday that to their own convenient time. 3 rounds of discussions happened and they said its all clear. As per the schedule the bar raiser round is pending. The panel does not have time and I had to go some other day. --Took another day leave and appeared for another discussion. They said, it good, it was the last round. Wait for update. Also, I got mail for sharing my employment documents. --Next day, I got a call asking to appear for one more round. They said the reason for this round is to judge the technical fitment....and I had no option but to go another day for the last round discussion by taking another day off from office. Waited for around 1.5 to 2 hr and no panel was present. I had to wait and then finally the panel came and had discussion with him. Though it was add-on round but it was a usual. Then they said that, now all rounds done. --Next day again got a call asking my availability for another round of discussion on code-pair. This is something which irritated me like anything. With a lot reluctance (thinking that it will be practice for me) I appeared for this round, tried attempting the questions but finally got the regret mail So, overall their communication, importance for the candidate, and the level of questions are 3rd class. They just time pass dont really mean to hire the candidate. It's not even worth of attending for practice because level of questions are very bogus.
