Declined Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2008 – Reviewed Sep 1, 2010
Interview Details – Interview process was really good.
Reason for Declining –
HR response was really pathetic. Wanted to speak to someone about the offer , but no one from the company responded.
If the HR response is like this even before joining the company then what will the company give to the employees. So did not join.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Nāgpur, Maharashtra (India) Sep 2007 – Reviewed Aug 10, 2009
Interview Details –
3, 1:1 interviews were announced on site. First technical interview came out to be a vast 1 hour lasting c++/Algorithm questions followed by a small disussion on a project I built.
I felt my second technical interviewer had an idea that I am not a person who reads w.stallings before interview so he just focused on work culture discussion and some real good puzzles luckily I went through.
after two interview of more then an hour each I wasent bothered much and a 5 minutes with HR was enough.
