Interview
Got a call for f2f interview at Gurgaon office. Reached there at 10:00 am in the morning. After a wait of 4 hours I was called for the interview. When i entered the room there were 4-5 candidates being interviewed over the telephone. I was asked to wait till one of the line get free. After some while HR came and dialed a no for me. The interviewer on the other side was seem to be in hurry or seems not interested in taking interview.
After explaining the current project to him, i was expecting some technical questions, to my surprise he asked just one question and didn't even let me complete the answer. Might be his lunch was waiting for him :-D
He asked me if i know java. I told him prior to hadoop i was working as a java developer. At that moment i expect he should be asking some questions on java, but he didn't asked any.
What i believe either he was not interested in taking interview or he lacks technical skills.
Advice to HR:
Your overall interview process lacks professionalism. If you called a candidate for f2f make sure the interview didn't get converted to telephonic after making the candidate wait for 4 hours.
And don't put undeserving people into the interview panel.
