Very good Technical interview Starting from core java moving to servlet jsp and then frameworks like struts and spring .Quality Question for experience band of 2.5 years
Very short Hr discussion told my expectation very clearly and got a positive response
Now the worst part , It has been 18 days and they are still to decide what they want to offer me.Got a few calls but no offer letter till date.They need to excercise some transparency in the process and let the candidate know the exact picture i have got two other offers but m not able to decide because of their unexpected delay.
After spending 8 hours in the process i expect them to be honest and give the exact picture was not expecting this form HSBC .Anyways have made up my mind to wait for one more week after that it will be waste of time.This attitudeis not done by any means
