Interview
The initial process went smoothly, but the interviewer who took my interview came with the intention to not hire. Asked all not so fresher friendly questions. After the interview, they didn't even mail regarding the verdict.
There are two interviews for students who have been cleared communication and technical assessment. One is AI-Bot Interview which is Very easy and has fixed questions. After clearing this interview there is next interview which is technical + HR..
