HR contacted me regarding a C++ job opportunity at the Pune location. I was asked to take an online aptitude test, and after completing it, I attended a one-hour technical round conducted virtually over Microsoft Teams. A senior engineer led the interview and asked all the questions, while a junior engineer observed the process. The focus was mainly on algorithms, data structures, and implementing a problem in C++. After that, there was an HR round—first over the phone and then virtually. Following this, they requested my documents, including pay slips and other relevant paperwork. Then came a week of complete silence. When I called the HR Person for an update, something unexpected happened: I was informed that they were currently looking for a project in order to hire me, and as of now, they didn’t have one available. The HR representative went a few steps further and made me regret reaching out to them.
