I lost in this round as i couldn't complete my ppt,not that i had put too many slides..they questioned me for 30min nonstop due to which I wasn't able to complete.. the interviewers are least bothered/ ignorant.Around 97% of them get rejected in this round for no reason.Candidates prepare their ppt,practice well,takeout their time from their busy schedule,travel so far..management should keep an eye on these interviewers who behave in such an ignorant/disinterested manner(bothered about their meetings,working on something else) Further rounds:5 puzzles(30min),managerial(keep your cool), namesake hr round(last round)

Since I don't care at all about money, I asked for the exact same salary I currently earn, instead of asking for 20% more than my current salary, which is what literally everybody does. The recruiter accused me of thinking only about money and made clear no assessment of my skills would have been performed in order to establish if I'm worth that salary or not. The day after I got an email stating that I was not selected.
