Screening call was routine. The interview began on schedule and ended on schedule. Started with technical questions and the level of questions for a VP level was very low. 2 basic technical questions later, they switched to behavioral- to describe STAR based situations which showed the fit for their 3 behaviours. The interviewers seemed to zone out during the interview and 0 probing or follow up questions. One of the two panelists seemed to be asking random questions for the sake of it, it was clear he did not look at my resume beforehand and didn't bother listening to me because his questions were opposite of what I had already spoken. Very underwhelming and disrespectful experience. Been a week and no response, I don't expect any better from this organisation. Seems like one of those fake job openings.

Principal Engineer Java - Individual Contributor role in CDIO Fixed Income Platform Team Duration: 2 weeks between first and last call The interview process involves two technical rounds followed by a managerial round. In my opinion it was easy. In the first round most of the questions were textbook material. Second round was a system design round but mostly revolved around current system architecture and some basic scenario based questions. The managerial round was typical in terms of questions asked but the interviewer (hiring manager) explained the job role in great detail which was a pleasant surprise Overall the interviews were conducted very professionally and the scheduler was a thoroughly considerate person. Salary Negotiation: After sending the documents on Friday, I received a call on Monday but the salary being offered and my expectation had a gap of 9LPA. Althogh the negtiator told me she would check with the hiring manager but I knew that they could not bridge it.
