Note: This company looks shady to me due to following reasons. 1. Hiring manager didn't ask much to about my work exp. which seems very odd to me. 2. HR never picks call and trying to avoid me as much as he can. 3. When they informed that i cleared all round and they will move forward with my candidature, i haven't heard back from them for 2 weeks straight. They never called & pick my calls. After 2 weeks they informed they will only offer me sde-2 since my work ex is only 4 yrs but all my rounds were taken for sde-3 level. I highly recommend you all to think twice before joining this organisation.
