Interview
I applied through linkdin. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at SITA (Gurgaon,Haryana) in June 2018.
It was a 5 stage process encompassing of initial screening ,online coding , technical interview , managerial interview & HR discussion. It was an magnificent experience. The recruitment team (Pardeep & Deepa) was keeping me updated on each & every movement on my application. They built a high level trust with me during the process.They did a great job of communicating throughout.
The technical discussion took place over Skype in the company premises with the hiring manager.I spent almost an hour on the call.It was more like a casual
discussion rather than direct question answers.He goes thoroughly on the details given in the resume.I got the positive feedback just after the call from the HR.
The managerial discussion took place after the technical one and it was also an congenial experience.She asked the customary behavioural questions like challenges you faced in the current company and how you handled the same ,strengths, weaknesses etc.
I would recommend that the candidates should be honest and talk about their skills and experiences with a positive tone. For example, if you don't have an experience in something, indicate your willingness to learn and mention how you learned something in the past.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your current role & responsibilities.
Full Technical knowledge is evaluated. Multiple questions for latest tech is asked.
The only reason to go is if they don’t like 👍🏽 the new 🆕 rules or if they’re not willing or even if you are just going out and getting something done ✔️ you know that you are the best at that so I can be the one who can
First shortlisted based on our resumes
Then there was an online test which was completely coding
Then shortlisted candidates had 2 rounds of interviews - technical round and hr round .
I had the initial recruiter call. The recruiter told me there would be two rounds of interviews: One with the manager and the other with the developers.
Recruiter set up the first call with the manager and told me that it would be a behavior and resume walk-through. I joined the call and there were few developers in the call. After the introduction, I asked them if the manager is running late for the meeting. They told me that he is not going to join and they were asked to take the interview in his stead. I didn't mind that and continued with the interview. It turned out to be a technical interview and not a resume walkthrough or behavioral interview.
The questions were easy but I wasn't prepared for a technical interview and I didn't do well. Never heard back from the recruiter after the interview.
Please do not ghost any candidate. When you tell the candidate that you'll get back in a week, please do so.
