I was submitted for this by a recruiter. I was then approached by an internal recruiter from Epsilon. Seems the internal recruiter was trying to approach me directly to cut out the recruiter who had submitted me. Quick phone screen with internal recruiter and then a phone screen with the hiring manager was arranged. The hiring manager called me around 10 or 15 minutes late. It was a release data and the manager was very busy. A few quick questions on my experience and that was it. Phone screen lasted less than 5 minutes. I did not expect to hear anything back. Next day I was contacted by the internal recruiter and told an in-person interview was going to be arranged. I interview in-person with 4 people. The hiring manager, a development engineer, a QA engineer and the technology lead. Hiring manager went over the basics of their system and then got into a fair amount of detail on my previous job experience. I worked for a SSL, encryption and code signing vendor. The hiring manager was obviously not technical and could not understand what I had been doing. They got hung up in the mechanics of SSL and I spent far to much time trying to explain to them how SSL and encryption works. Interview with development engineer was casual with no issues. A few questions on GUI development and that was about it. QA engineer asked extensive questions about my work with Selenium WebDriver and then a lot of questions on Selenium Grid. As I had no experience with Selenium Grid I was not able to answer some of the questions and this seemed to upset the interviewer. He concluded by asking me some Java questions on Interfaces, multiple inheritance and the difference between static objects and singletons. The director of technology asked no questions on technology but instead focused on what I wanted in a job, what kind of work environment I liked and other questions like that. It was obvious he was trying to see if I would be a good fit for the team. I left the interview with the feeling the QA Engineer would not approve of me. I also left with a lot of questions as to if I wanted to even work for Epsilon. Epsilon never got back to me with any kind of feedback. I was left hanging. Repeated attempts to contact the internal recruiter from Epsilon were ignored. My emails and phone messages were not answered or returned.

There were around six rounds of interview which included an online coding test followed by technical rounds and managerial rounds and finally hr round. After I cleared technical round they sent me a mail asking for my resume, current ctc, expected ctc and other details. I replied to that mail with the details. Then all the interview rounds got cleared. In hr round the hr said, we cannot offer you the expected ctc, we will try to work on it and get back. They came back after 2 weeks with a lesser number. I accepted that number, they said they will get back in next week. Then they called me back the next week and said we are not able to offer you what ever we promised and we have to drop your candidature. Is this a kind of joke or what ! They make the candidate go through all the rounds of interview ever after knowing that they cannot afford the candidate ! Why are they wasting a candidate’s time and energy ! I suggest not to attend an interview with this company and waste your time.
