Hiring process started with expectations and interview setup. It was using Google meet. Took 1 week of time.
First Round : Technical interview. 1 hour straight with scenario based questions on Java 8 Collections and Core Java.
Second Round : AVP Round : Questions about project
Third Round : 'Manager round : Questions about project and few confidence checking questions like puzzles
Finally comes the HR round: The HR , a Senior Executive, sends you and email with the Rough CTC breakup and then when you negotiate, she comes back with a different amount which is less than what was quoted stating that she did not have approval. SO UNPROFESSIONAL. When confronted, HR straightforward asks you either you take or reject. Such crapy and unprofessional reply from the HR is least expected. Moreover the HR does not have any sense of professionalism and behaves as if she is the owner of the company where she can quote something on her own and come back with a lesser amount.
WASTE OF TIME AND ENERGY.
Please ask about the expectation even before starting the first round to save your precious time.
