      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Software AG (Bengaluru) in Sept 2016

      Interview

      The consultancy arranged the interview for Senior Engineer Specialist. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Software AG (Bangalore) in July 2016. They take 2 day to finish your interview of 5 hours(3 rounds). -first round was hacker round -second was f2f in the office -interview was scheduled at 10:00, I reached around 10:45 only to realised no one is available to take the interview. after repeatedly calling the HR, somehow one guy came and call me to one room -some basic questions on java, spring, DS -then lunch break, then second round happened with the senior engineering manager. the interview lasted for 90 mins. questions on the puzzles, advanced java and design the thread pool -then they informed me that i qualified for the next round which is VP round which they will inform me later -after 2 days I attended the VP round, they guy who took my interview looked at my CV and he told me he is not impressed and not convinced with my CV. I was shock by the attitude, that too by such a guy at this position and also at this stage of the interview process. look like he was looking for every way to reject me. After brief discussion on my career and my projects, he gave me one exercise to design one web app. Then he left the room only to comeback after 15 mins to check if i have finish the web app in 15 mins, then again he leave me to attend his meeting and he came back after 30 mins. He then collect the paper and without bothering to look what I have written. I can sense his unprofessional conduct right from the beginning on the interview. -after hours of waiting again and calling the HR, finally they asked me to come to one room to inform that i have been rejected. I asked here what is the feedback, she said she does not know the reason. She told me that i can talked to the head HR to know the proper feedback. -I request her if i can talk to the head HR. Then the head HR comes and called me to one room. He told me that i was reject because of my CV which I was shocked to hear that. I told him, this should have happen right before I step in the office for the first time. I am damn sure the VP who took my interview is not capable enough to handle the interview in a professional way. The head HR even convinced me that 2 other team manager are interested in my profile because I have cleared the round technically, I told him if it can happen right away then I am ok, else I cannot comeback to attend any interview. It didn't happen because they were having meeting. -after 1 day, the consultancy called me to check the status, i told her about the feedback, she said she will check again. she later told me that because of the high CTC i was rejected but she said she will follow up. Next day she told me that I was rejected be cause I could clear the tech round. What a rubbish time i spent to attend the interview. During the first 2 rounds, both the interviewers informed me that there is no work in this office so i will get bored if i join the company.
