I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Morningstar (Navi Mumbai)
Interview
The interview process had 2 technical rounds. Some basic .net full stack and project related questions were asked. The interview panel were really good and that made interview session more interactive.
The biggest issue is with the compensation, HR will never match your expectation. And they don't follow up with candidates.
Sincere suggestion to candidates, before attending the interview make sure you confirm with HR if they can match your expectations with your existing CTC and offer in hand or else don't waste your time.
