I interviewed for the position of Senior Software Developer - Natural Application Integration OS (Adabas & Natural). From the outset, the hiring manager expressed surprise that my CV had been shortlisted, as it did not reflect experience with C/C++. I clarified that the job description did not specifically require C/C++ but focused on middleware services to integrate with the platform, which seemed to address his concerns. He proceeded to ask several technical questions and agreed to arrange a second technical interview with a senior developer, who was on vacation at the time. The interview was initially scheduled for the day following the developer’s return, but I requested a reschedule, which was accommodated for the next working day. However, two hours before the rescheduled interview, I received a rejection email stating that another candidate had been selected and offered the position. This was both disappointing and felt unfair, as my skills were not fully evaluated during the process.

1. Technical discussion 1 2. Technical discussion 2 3. Manager discussion 4. Director discussion 5. HR round First round is totally domain specific and one or teo small coding questions may be asked. Second round is mainly a mixed of both domain specific knowledge and more on coding logics, 2 easy to medium dsa questions. Manager is totally scenario based techno managerial discussions. Director is also a techno managerial sort of discussion. HR round is based on compensation and benefits stuffs only. I have to drop the offer cause I came to know that the director is pretty rude and un professional, plus i also had better offer than this company.

Got a call from consultancy. Attended the interview on a weekend. There were initial 2 rounds of interview, the first round was coding I have answered all the question and the panel was happy with all answers. Second round worst person has encountered as it was already late evening he simply asked about me and told me to leave for the day without asking any question, I am shocked. Such a stupid process.
