I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ciena (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Mar 2020
Interview
I have applied through naukri.com and than received the call from recruiter she conveyed there will be two rounds and my telephonic interview was scheduled for first round.It took 1 hr and the interviewer just asked all the basic things from .net,c#.
My interview gone very good, was expecting to hear from Hr about next round,but even after a week didn't receive any call so I have call hr and she said your feedback was average.I haven't expected that and really don't know what interview was expecting me to answer for just simple questions.It was just waste of time don't know what they were looking for.
Cancelled my rescheduled interview without any communication from HR. Got ghosted when asked for an explanation. 2 days later, I get a notification that the position is closed. Will never bother applying here again.
Good experience. Only 2 interviews; 1 for soft skills and 1 for technical skills. I ended up getting the job. Fairly easy interview. Good place to work. Why need many word, when few word do trick?
