An initial telephonic round was conducted with an IT manager which took place for almost an hour. Various scenario based questions were asked and it was a very insightful conversation with the person. The call ended on a very positive note with the person clearly mentioning that the application will now be sent for the next round. I even got the same feedback via the referral I had applied through. 5 days passed by and no update from the HR regarding the same. I emailed asking the outcome for the same to which the HR replied that the application was rejected. Now this clearly stated a scenario of miscommunication between either of the HR and Manager. Applications do get rejected but at-least the correct reason should be stated. Not a fair experience.

Interview process was smooth. First technical round was of medium difficulty with focus on core java concepts. Second was technical cum managerial round. Followed by an HR discussion regarding compensation.
