It was a drive organised for multiple roles. They asked to come in handy with prints of resumes & invite email. I couldn't get print (& so many others with me). So despite reaching there by 10:30, my interview got done at 2:30pm. Thankfully they offered tea/coffee & sandwiches for lunch. The candidates were sent via consultants. They said your profile was shortlisted because of our efforts, and you have less experience in multithreading & microservices, but not even a single question on microservices and maybe 1/2 from threading. For a tech lead role, they asked me polymorphism and a small coding test, and nothing from design/architect side. Interviewer was probably less (or very best) had same experience as me, and kept rude demeaner. There was a fresher/new joinee from some team who was shadowing the interviewer, to learn the interview process. She was much more receptive of my answers.

The recruiters are unprofessional and incompetent at their job in this org. After clearing all the rounds successfully, I was asked to share documents and payslips. Then 2 days later recruiter mentions that she does not have budget to even match my current salary. If that is the case then why they called me for F2F interview at their Bagmane office in mahadevpura, Bengaluru. They dont care about candidates time and expect everyone to work for peanuts like service based orgs. Think twice before appearing for an interview in this org where recruiters are incompetent and more interested in wasting the candidates time.
