Interview

If you are applying in this company. Please pray to god that your HR isn't Priyanka. She contacted me for the job, I went through the first round & it went great. But Priyanka never contacted me, I mailed her four times regarding the status of the job interview, but she didn't care to reply. I called the HR intern whose number I was provided, but he never picked up.
This is thoroughly un-professional. If Qubole really has such HRs they shouldn't expect to get good employees. After mailing her 4 times & waiting for 3 weeks about the result. I blocked from the mail & made sure never to apply at qubole again. Even if I was rejected, I should have been informed at-least. Priyanka worked for 5 years at Qubole, I wonder how many good employees didn't join qubole because of her.
Regarding the Interview, it was great. The interviewer was very professional & asked white board programming question. We brainstormed on problem together for 2 hours & it was pleasant experience all together. I really wished to work here.
