I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Persistent Systems (Pune) in Oct 2016
Interview
Scheduled drive at Pune Hinjewadi on 23/10/2016. Limited number of candidates were only called. Free Lunch was provided. Interview was for UI developer and I am dot net developer with angularjs experience just wanted to get a hang of the question asked for angularjs so attended the interview. Interviewer also was concerned if I would want to switch to UI side. Interview was good and I could answer all questions.
Bad points:-
Once the interview was over the recruiter said next round would be by technical architect but he's not around so will be called back on weekdays. Nobody tried to contact me.
Few days later on follow up HR told she would schedule one in next week but few days later she told I didn't crack the first round itself.
I mean why lie in first place could have easily told same on interview date. Poor management.
