Don't Waste Your Time & Energy By Giving Interviews Here.
i cleared all technical round , then HR asked my expectation and told me she will get back to me very next day. After that she ghosted me for 15 days , multiple follow-ups did not help.
if you want to spoil 1 month of your personal time , give interview here. HR has lot of attitude and does not bother to call you for any kind of update.
