I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Philips (Bengaluru) in Aug 2018
Interview
My experience at Philips was pathetic. I got a call from HR (Name: Komal) for the position of Software Developer II at Manyata Tech. Park, Bengaluru/ Bangalore. She took all my details including current CTC and expected CTC etc over the phone and scheduled a telephonic interview. After clearing the first round, I was called at Manyata Tech Park on weekday for the 2nd round of technical discussion where I was asked questions related to J2EE and few coding problems related to data structures. On completion of the first round, the technical panel asked me to wait to hear about the next process for which I waited around 1 hour to hear from HR, after waiting for 1 hour I called the HR out of desperation to which she said you can leave for the day as she completely forgot to call me . After few days, I got an email saying that my next round is on next week and again on a weekday, to which I again took off from office and went all the way to Manyata tech park. This time it was more of a managerial round, after completing that I was given the employment form , followed by HR discussion.
As I didn't hear for a week from HR, I tried contacting the HR and even dropped a mail saying that they are rejecting my profile as my current CTC is way too high and they can't offer me my expected CTC, which HR knew from the starting. Complete waste of my 2 days and mental peace by following with the HR.
