      Senior Software Development Engineer Interview

      3 Mar 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chennai
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Chennai) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      Interview call letter contained a promising invitation like this: "We are pleased to invite you for the face-to-face discussion to explore the career opportunity in detail, and to get a better overview of your credentials and aspirations. We would also like to utilize this opportunity to answer any queries that you may have." Prior to getting this call letter, I did send them my latest resume over email which is exactly the one I printed and presented to the interview panel. I did not lie/bluff about my skillset. There was only 1 person in the panel for about 50-70 participants of which there were only around 20% of the people who raised hands when we were asked how many of us hold one particular skill that was mandatory for the role. So, I did understand it was going to be a tough job for the only person in the interview panel to interview and eliminate candidates. But I was not given a fair chance at the interview. The interviewer went through my resume, asked me to introduce about myself where I told I am primarily into applications support but with intermittent development experience as and when the projects came from the client I was working for. There ended my interview! The HR coordinator called me and said maybe I should try to gain development experience in my current company and appear again later. See, we look for job switches only when we get something in the new job openings that we couldn't get in our current company. If it was easy for you to reject a candidate even without conducting a technical round and evaluating if the candidate has the mindset and hunger to scale up, then I don't think it is a fair chance! By this way, you are encouraging the candidates who appear for interview to lie and bluff about their professional experience, aligned to the Job Description for which you're recruiting. And I don't think that's a healthy practise. Above all, don't give such a false promise in the introductory note of interview call letter.
