I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PTC (Pune) in Feb 2022
Interview
Initial Interview followed by more managerial rounds. Role description was unclear. Managerial Round started with negging, saying she thought she was going to interview a PHD. In my opinion, it is better to ask the interviewer for their credentials as well. Then started with unrealistic instantaneous intelligence type problems: didn't even come up with original ones. One technical question for an experienced role: reverse a number using recursion, I lost interest, couldn't solve. Then she asked 9th grade geometry proof which also I couldn't remember. It was a disappointing experience, seeing people interviewing for higher roles are not prepared well, and seem like having delusions of brilliance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Mislabeled jars problem
- Easy questions on pointer manipulation/output
- Reverse a number using recursion
- Prove angle subtended by diameter is 90 degrees
I went for interview by seeing PTC as a good brand. but in interview, I found, very foolish people who took my interview. they were more focused on my salary expectation than core funda to concentrate on technical things. When interview is over, They told me, you not cleared interview. what the hell.
Also, before 2 yrs i got offer from PTC, they not giving salary as that of salary offered by other company.
More specifically, all interviews in the company happened, i observed people in company as govt job..relax no tension, no technical things. interviews also very cheap. not in depth. I am still surprising why they rejected me. because of salary expectation or they dont want higher technical person..only god knows.
