      Software Engineer Interview

      Sep 25, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Redmond, WA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at HCL (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2018

      Interview

      Extremely unprofessional, a recruiter kept rescheduling my interview at last moment and at the end when he eventually find time to take it, I was supposed to get a Skype call and instead he called me and said I am away from my system, Can we have a phone call and I said alright and He asked all SQL questions to me, Although the job description was for .NET development. I was irritated by him the way he was asking questions was like he was trying to demotivate me. Like for few answers , I started with It might or I guess and he was like you never did this before, you don't know it that's why your are saying might be etc. which is really not cool, his accent was Indian and very poorly communicating when asking question, I wish you train your interviewers well before asking them to interview because it should be nice and making interviewee comfortable and should not be like somebody is interrogating you. It sucks to have interviews with such people, It shows that the company itself is so unprofessional and employees are that arrogant
