Fresher Review on Interview Process

Associate systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It recently got selected in extreme networks, and as a fresher, the interview process went on smoothly and it was fantastic. The Technical lead just brushed about the company and carried out the face 2 face interview, which was about 3 rounds asking about programming basics (any language preferred) along with aptitude. It was much informative and learned some new techniques and this experience is one which I can't forget in my entire life. Guys, there will sure some goodies for all the people who got selected for interview process.

Cons

There were no such cons in the interview process
