Extentia Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Pathetic, disorganized, worst interview experience ever:
After 5 rounds of interview over 3 days, no response…

Day 1: Went to main office in KP.
Interview round 1: Someone lower than the job level I was being interviewed for came in and just did some chit chat for 1 hour. I’m guessing the actual interviewer didn’t have time so delegated to someone.

Interview round 2: Peer level manager interviewed for 1 hour. The position was general Project Manager and he started asking me to draw IT architecture. When I told him that I would get the Solution Architect to do the design and I would do the planning and management of the project so I don’t really need to know how to design or code, he was offended. Looks like there was a confusion if the position was a “Technical Project Manager” who’s expected to do part time coding and design or if it was PMO type “Project Manager” which I was actually called in for.

Interview round 3: With the Vice president, made me wait for 3 hours over lunch time and HR didn’t have the courtesy to show me where I can get food. They didn’t even tell me the wait was going to be 3 hrs. Every 30 mins, I would check with HR and she would say please wait here for 30 more mins so I couldn’t even leave.
After the 3 hours wait, interview lasted 20 mins and the lady just asked me generic ‘walk me through your resume’ type questions.

Day 2: After 3 days, went to the same office.

Interview round 4: With another Vice President! After the 1 hour wait, interview lasted 20 mins and same generic ‘walk me through your resume’ type questions.

Interview round 5: With another Vice President (Pshew!!). Waited 1 hour, didn’t show up. So HR asked me to come later.

Day 3: After 2 week was called into a different office.

Interview round 6: Only 30 mins wait. Yeh! A senior mgt guy came in and asked same generic HR type questions.

After 3 weeks of me following up with HR via phone and email, so response.. Finally HR picked the call and said, you are waitlisted (!?!?), they are trying to see which project will suit me and she will get back once a decision is made.

It’s been year, no response.

Interview Details – Got an email response same day from their HR people, which showed they were eager to hire. She also called the next day with initial questions. Interview scheduled for 3 days later.

Was met on time by a 'peer' level techie and we had an animated discussion on mobile application development. Seemed less an interview! He brought two others and we discussed problem solving. This became a 'skills test'

1 week later I was asked to come back, and meet their tech head. This was actually an even more detailed discussion of technologies and applying them. HR people met me after that. 4 days later I got a call about an offer.

Negotiation Details – They had some flexibility on the offer as they needed the role filled. Several projects needed my kind of skills.

Interview Details – The first interview was supposed to be by phone, but since the network was very poor it has to be done by skype. Between the first call (by phone) and the next one by skype, I had to wait more than 1h though we told me that should be about 15 min.
I had 2 interviews, one with 2 persons form the business team and another one from a manager.
Both of them lasted about 1h.
