      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      Written MCQ conducted by Merit Track Technical Iinterview HR Discussion Took whole Day got there at 9.30 am as per Schedule and left at 6.30 Pm.Friendly Spocs they had made arrangement for lunch.Written test was fine but few question from Svn and other Specific tools required in development environment but i have used others there for lost on few Questions. 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
