      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      5 Oct 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HARMAN (Bengaluru) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      A company full of DUMBOS. Don't know their job and call themselves professionals. All the attendees got invite mails from Harman's HR (Bangalore). It was a 3-4 round process which includes 2-3 technical and 1 Hiring manager round. It seems HR just searched through the Naukri portal without looking into their own criteria and person's compatibility to the job. First round happened pretty fast, after that they made candidates wait for 2 hours for result, not because they were busy with so many attendees but because some Principal Architect "The Interviewer" was on the way to office. After 2 hours of wait, got an update that this guy will take another 2-3 hours to reach to office, so results were declared and asked selected candidates to leave for the day and come on weekdays. Now few people chose to leave and few stayed. After 1 hour HR comes and in a way pleaded to leave for the day when candidates showed willingness to wait as already people were waiting for 4-5 hours then they tried to scare us by saying that selection ratio of "The Interviewer" is very low and It will be better to come on weekdays as there will be multiple Interview Panels. Chose to stay and face the guy. After wait of almost 5-6 hours this gentleman came and we had our technical discussion for 1-2 hour. After this HR told that technical rounds are done and had an discussion with Hiring manager, who did not see skills, dedication,perseverance, confidence but current CTC and told that they will inform. Asked HR about this as this was suppose to be one day drive and all rounds are done then whats the delay in final result, , HR told that CTC is already on higher end and they cannot afford that much salary. On asking that did HR not viewed the profile before sending that interview invite, they had no answer. They wasted whole day and gave worst ever interviewing experience. Suggestion is for those, who respect their skills and time, please never go to attend this company's interview process. They are bunch of waste people, who waste others valuable time and resources. Harman International Bangalore is a BIG NO !!!

Technical Interview Rounds: Usually consists of 1–3 rounds depending on the seniority of the role. Focus Areas: In-depth theoretical knowledge of languages (C, C++, Python, or Java), OOP concepts, Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), and specific domain skills like Android, React, or Embedded systems. Format: These can be conversational discussions about your resume and past projects, or hands-on coding sessions using online editors like CodeSandbox or JSFiddle.
