Waste, idiotic interview process

Did they ask any documents from your side the day after the interview?

They asked me for my documents as well but didn't get back to me yet with any feedback. Should I wait or approach the HR directly?

Hi Guys,Did anyone received any call/confirmation on "Software Test engineer"

Hello friends, sharing my experience as this forum has helped a lot to kill anxiety during wait period. Applied for job on 18the Oct. 1st screening interview on: 27th Oct 2nd structured intetview on: 31st Oct Asked for docs and submitted on : 1st Nov Waited for 2 whole weeks Received call to discuss salary break up on: 20th Nov Offer letter extended on: 22nd Nov If waiting for call after doc submission, would suggest to follow up at the end of 2nd week!

Did you get your joining date confirmation?

Yes...you should get it once you confirm your last day in your current org.

Hello, First I would like to thank you all as I have been going through all the answers and this helped with the interview experience at Beoing. I have a few questions of my own. I have been asked for my documents. But my expectation was not asked with regards to compensation. Is this the case for everyone else too ? And what would be the salary range for someone with eight years of experience for a technical profile?

They would've asked your expectation initially which they will remember and make a offer based on that. You may choose to negotiate or accept based on what they say when they make the actual offer.

But they never asked me for my expectation and that is why I am confused. Also how long should I wait before asking them for any progress after giving my payslip documents? Also if you are working there or have gone through the process could you let me know the salary range for someone with 8+ years of experience

I was interview for last round that is structured interview on 20th Feb 2018 and the same day. they mail and message me for submitting the document and I submitted the documents on 21st Feb 2018. how much time I have to wait for the final offer letter. Guys, please comments.

Got call from HR for offer break up. as discussed with HR he told me tomorrow morning you will get offer letter.

I had interview through webex on 28 th july and status show under consideration can i get offer what is the next process please some one help

Gave my telephonic structure interview on June 26th and was told they would take 3 weeks to come back since US had a week off during July 1st week. Till date haven't got any update on the status of that interview and their portal application status till date says 'Active' & 'Under Consideration'. Have not been asked to submit any documents. Should I consider that they don't change the status on their portal irrespective of the result and move on?.

Should I consider that they don't change the status on their portal irrespective of the result and move on?." Adding my response since I'm in a similar situation with the exception that they asked my documents on 26th June. I tried to reach out to them but no response received. On checking with few people in the org, I got to know that this is a usual practice - they might not even provide any reason on Taleo and move ahead.

Just an update to my above answer, on following up with the HR for the thousandth time, finally got a response that my profile hasn't been shortlisted. This is after a wait of almost 1.5 months and documents submission. What a waste of time is the hiring process! For future applicants, who're on this thread hoping for any answers, PLEASE WAIT ON YOUR OWN RISK. Keep applying to other companies.

have been interviewed f2f on July last week, for mechanical engineer actuator system and also asked to send documents, but afterwards no response. I hope if any one here also face same issue. Pls answer. It's been more then 15 days now after interview.

Anyone here who got offer or waiting for an offer for Junior Software Programmer Java...

I received a call for the final round of interview last week Friday but haven't received any confirmation email yet. Is anyone here facing same issue?? It is going to be a week now.

After how many days of salary discussion , we will get offer letter from Boeing.

HR told they are offering lead role and Salary breakup 5 days back, But Still I have not received the confirmation mail with offer letter? can any one knows how many day it will take?

After completion of interview,they said like "if you are selected, you will receive offer letter within 2 or 3 weeks.Otherwise consider you were not selected".However 2 weeks has not been completed. One of the panel member came for escort , gave a shakehand and said "Hope will see you in boeing".Can I confirm that I got it?

Program Manager at Microsoft was asked...

Consider a lift lobby where people are waiting for the lift. Now when lift arrives people get in irrespective of who came first. Thus, the person who came first keeps waiting and others keep getting in. Design a lift system which can solve the problem of this person.

17 Answers

increase the load capacity of lobby by its size andhaving a narrow path in front of lobby so that the person who came first can only enter first, just like we stand for ticket in railway station.

a.)If you are talking about the technical customization, HAVE A ELEVATOR INSTEAD OF LIFT. Regards Vishnu 9884578010

install a camera with face recognition near the external button system, system scans the face of the person and stores, when the lift comes, there is a face recognition system too.. the persons can only move in the lift in the sequence of arrival in the lobby and subsequent face scan ... if the person who came first, gets his face scanned first does not get to move in the lift first .. instead an other person moves and tries to get his scan ratified ... system would throw a voice messege ... pls let the person before you in the que come first!!!!

I don't find any of the answers posted above by Vikram, Vishnu or Deb as appropriate! @Vikram: Can you increase the size of a lift lobby??? FYI a lift lobby is the space u generally have between an array of lifts located on opposite sides of a wall. Having a narrow path and having a long waiting queue?? Imagine such a situation in an office or a shopping mall or an apartment! and will u demolish an existing building to reinstall this design u are suggesting - who will buy ur design? @Vishnu: Elevator - do u mean escalator? Imagine a 30-40 floor building and and escalator going 30 floors up and down! Think of the time u will have to take to reach the top floor. There can be n types of solution, but it is important to evaluate every solution. we are not suggesting just an alternate solution, but addressing the users problem. I think we are increasing his problem by this design. And also consider the technical feasibility of such design in say 50 floor building? and again will u demolish an existing building to reinstall this design u are suggesting - who will buy ur design? @Deb: Again, we are solving the users problem here and not just suggesting solution for the sake of it. Imagine such a lift system installed in your apartment complex! The camera would know that you are no. 7, how would you know that? not knowing this you will try to enter a lift and then u say that the lift will stop u!!! and there may be 6 lifts in the lobby. Say at a particular instance of time 2 lifts - lift 1 (going down) and lift 4 (going up) arrive. you will not let in person no 10 who wants to go down while all other 9 who came before and wants to go up. And how would the camera know which floor the person wants to go?? I am just giving pointers and this is the way the options will be struck down, if they do not address the actual problem/ or you do not consider the feasibility of implementation. The solution that i gave was this: When one enters a lift lobby first thing he does is to press up or down button to call a lift going up or down respectively. Once we enter a lift we have the keyboard to press the floor number inside the lift. What i suggested is to have a similar keyboard somewhere at the entrance of the lift lobby along with a small embedded display screen. So that when i am entering the lobby i press say 11 (to go to the 11th floor). While i press that, instantly the lobby shows me the lift number (say Lift 1, 2, ..6) i need to get into. So i know which lift i need to get into and i will obviously stand in front of that lift. At any time, the same lift number will not be issued to more than X people (where X is a predefined number of persons who can go in a lift at a time). Here the design is not in reinventing the entire lift system. Nobody will incur so much real estate cost to scrap the existing lift system and build a totally new designed one! The actually design here would be to build the backend logic that the lift system would use to assign the right lift number to every arriver in the most efficient way. e.g. Assume a simple start state (for a 2 lift lobby) when all lifts are stationary at the ground floor. When P1 (going to F10) comes System assigns him L1. For P2 (F5) assigns L2. Now to P3 (F12) assign L1, P4(F11) assign L1, P5(F4) assign L2 and so on. This is a simple situation. All we need is an algorithm which can address this lift assignment in the most efficient way. I WAS SELECTED :)

The lift system you described is one they use in a large hospital close to where I live. I think they did it so that you would not have to press buttons inside the lift and not for the particular problem described in the question.

Have a two way door opening in the lift. But always entry should be in one side and exit other side.

Sorry for my previous response. Wrongly understood the question

@Anonymus (One who posted this question): I see two major flaws in this solution. 1) If a group of people wants to go to the same floor together and only person among the group presses the button, then the lift under this system would assume that only one person would enter and allot only 1 person's capacity to the entire group, thus exceeding the capacity frequently. Under this system, every individual would have to press the button even if they come together which is a bit of an inconvenience I feel. 2) Also, if someone presses the button, is allocated a lift and then doesn't enter, then the lift wont know and will not 'free' the capacity leading to it running under-capacity when there are other people waiting to use the lift.

IMO there should be a token vending machine just outside the lift where as and when people come, take out token. Now these tokens are embedded with a single chip with a kind of dynamic number saved on them. The vending machine would draw out tokens in a numeric sequence, once a person enters a life he would have to punch/drop his token into a reading device which will open the gate for the lift in a particular order. Once all are done, the machine would be reset and again the procedure can be repeated for the next set of people. This is something similar to Metro Train Tokens.

Create a queuing system with barricades, just like at airport ticketing counters.

What's the problem here i can't find it ?

increase the no of lifts to serve for peak periods. Decrease the width of lift doors. enhance the lift algorithm to serve better. Try to control the flow, by analyzing the causes. Keep a notice board or appoint a security , if required.

It was not mentioned i the question that there are several lifts in th lobby. Hence, it a very simple solution for the first person to enter first is to arrange a baricade- Q system. Thats it....age old and very simple, price less solution.

I found the experience quite ridiculous and unprofessional. It's alright to ask some questions about one's personal life but this was just like infringing on my personal space. Ms. Bihari asked just one or two questions about my work experience, skills and professional experience. By then, I had decided to just skip this company.

Hi All, The HR asks such questions to know how well the candidate if selected can gel int he team. it is also considered as a back ground check (very briefly). There are organisation which actually have complete background check to know family details as well. Still if one wants to come out of the question it can be said that one is not comfortable.

It was fun and great to be interviewed by the HR. The interview process was time taking but the questions asked were relevant.

I know people get frustrated when they are not able to crack the job ... but it does not mean we blame other employees or HR..... and as per my knowledge HR just follow the format or set of questions...which they ask everyone....

Happened with me too. No relevant questions were asked

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's weird that they didn't ask you anything about your work experience. I was planning to apply for a job here but will pass it.

I think that's because they're a new company with less employees. It'll take time to follow a proper hiring process. Good you didn't go for it. Instead you can try Wework or Vatika. Heard good reviews. All the best on your job search!

Its weird how people find such questions irrelevant. People with a mindset of an orthodox job should not apply for jobs in newer sectors such as these. Its quite relevant for companies to get to know their propect employees before hiring them. Most of the recent companies believe in personally knowing their candidates to figure out their longevity in the organisation and if they would require any special accommodation if they join the company

Being a woman myself, i do not think that these questions are out of proportion. Its the responsibility of an HR to know the candidates. You cant expect to go for a job interview and get the questions of your liking. Dont think the person would've complained if they were hired. Terming the questions ridiculous just because the HR seems to be lady is pathetic . My advice: Apply at a post office. No "weird" questions there.

@RiddhiSharma Great Advice !! The commenter has a good strategy though, must say. Go for an interview. Behave like Queen Elizabeth, get rejected. Then, come back on glassdoor and curse the interview. Revenge served cold !

I'm a woman and had a similar experience. Although I didn't mind answering a few personal questions, I refused to entertain the HR further when she became pushy. It ended abruptly as the HR couldn't handle a 'no' and became rude after that. Totally reflects the company culture. A candidate has full right to stand his/her ground and I don't regret it one bit. A barely 2 year old company that's yet to make a mark and they think they can treat candidates poorly. But they should know that not everyone will give a damn. Not sure this company will last long with this attitude but who cares.

If you didn't like the questions why dint you hang up? Lol. Btw Wework is better. Apply there!

There are 27 balls with one ball having additional weight. Total how many attempts you have to make to check all balls using a sisaw

10 Answers

3. group the 27 balls into3 groups of nine, weigh 2 of the groups. If one is heavier, continue with that group. If they are equal, continue with the unweighed group. Break those nine into 3 groups of 3, weigh 2 groups. If one is heavier, continue with that group, otherwise use the unweighed group. With the 3 left, weigh any two. If one is heavier, you have it. If they are the same, then it is the unweighed ball that is heaviest. You have used the scale 3 times

friend what sort question they may ask to electrical student.amazon is coming to my college.please reply.

Break it into 3 groups of 9, based on worse case scenario 1 test A & B group, if same go to step 2 if different go to step 3 2 test A & C group, take the heaviest group and split into 3 groups of 3 3 test A & B group if same go to step 4 if different go to step 5 4 test A & C group, take heaviest group and split into single balls 5 test A & B ball, if same go to step 6 if different you have the answer 6 test A and C ball Worse case is 6 times you will need to use the scale

It’s actually FIVE different weightings. Try a visual tree with the breakdown of structure. Stars indicates each weighing. 27 split 9 vs 9 9 9* vs 9 9* split 3 vs 3 3 3* vs 3 3* split 1 vs 1 ( 1) (1*) If last weight is uneven that item is the heaviest. If it's even then the unmeasured stone is the heaviest.

First make three groups of 9. then make three groups of 3 with the heaviest. Finally 1 to 1. So total 8 attempts can pick the odd one.

1, 2, or 4 One attempt in the best case scenario and four attempts in the worst case scenario. Using the method below, your answer will be revealed in the first, second, or fourth attempt using the seesaw. 1. Divide ball in 2 groups of 13 and weigh. Your 27th ball not being weighed. --> If equal, you have the answer on first attempt. The heavy ball is the 27 ball, not weighed. --> If not equal, remove light balls and repeat the comparison with the heavier group of balls. 2. Divide balls in two groups of 6 and weigh. Your 13th ball is not weighed. --> If equal, you have the answer on the second attempt. The heavy ball is the 13th ball, not weighed. --> If not equal, remove the light balls and repeat the comparison with the heavier group of balls. 3. Divide balls in two groups of 3 and weigh. --> Remove the light balls and repeat the comparison with the heavier group of balls. 4. You now have three balls. Weigh two of the balls to get your answer. --> If equal, the heavy ball is the one not weighed. --> If not equal, your heavy ball is identified by the low end of the seesaw.

3 You can guarantee the answer in 3 steps, if required. However, you no longer stand a chance of obtaining the answer in the first 2 weighings as I described immediately above. 1. Divide balls into 3 groups of 9. --> Weigh two of the groups. This will identify the heavy group. 2. Divide the identified heavy group into 3 groups of 3. --> Weigh two of the groups. This will identify the heavy group. 3. Separate the 3 balls in the heavy group and weigh. --> This comparison will identify the one heavy ball from the original group of 27.

3 attempts - attempt 1 - divide 3 sections 9balls 9balls 9balls pick a section which is different in weight, attempt 2 - divide 3 sections 3balls 3balls 3 balls pick a section which is different in weight, Attempt-3- divide 3 sections 1ball 1ball 1ball pick a ball which is in different in weight Attempt 3 -

what is angle between hour hand and minute hand in clock at 4:20 ? what is biggest conflict management you have handled in your work place

13 Answers

IF min's hand rotates for 360 deg, hr's hand rotates for 30 deg - so for 60 min - hr's hand rotates for 30 deg. For 1 min it rotates for 0.5 degree. Hence, for 20 min it rotates for 10 degrees. The angle between hr's hand and min's hand should be 10 deg.

have you ppl looked at an analog clock recently it is 0 or 360 degrees
