Pathetic Organization. A pathetic sense of time. Pathetic conduction of interviews.
It was by far the most gruesome and inconsiderate process I have ever experienced. There were close to 40 experienced Java Developers waiting in line for them to called. Each of us was sent an email with a dedicated slot. However, the interview call came 3 hours after the slot ended. In summary, each of us waited 5 hours to attend just one round of interview. Add to that, the first round was a simple telephonic interview (which brings me to the question: If you had to do a telephonic round, why not take a skype call from the applicant, from their home? Why would they need to come all the way to your location, wait 5 hours and then take a telephonic round?). With the long tiring hours of waiting, a minimum requisite expected was drinking water (at the bare minimum), a clean washroom. None of them were easily available. We had to scour for the washroom and water coolers were arranged somewhere within the working area that needed access cards to enter. None of us had that and so we had to wait for an official everytime we felt thirsty. The cafetaria was closed - even for buying water. Tea or coffee was way out of question.
All this - Plus, each interview was done in a span of 20 minutes - meaning each candidate was taken in - one by one - with an interval of 20 minutes. When asked, why this was happening, the HR had only one thing to say - "If you can't wait, you can leave!".
