I was interviewed for a Scrum Master opening with the Agile CoE. 'Utterly pathetic' is the best short summary of the whole process. During the initial 2-3 interview rounds (including a face to face one), they sounded very optimistic about the relevance of my skills, experience etc. and I was selected for the offer round. There they (suddenly!) realized that the best they can offer me is a 0% hike on my current salary. On negotiating further, they verbally increased it to a 5% hike. A week after this, they withdrew even that offer w/o providing any reasonable explanation. In all probability, they would have 'caught hold' of a cheaper candidate in the meantime and decided not to roll out the formal letter of offer. The HR folks who had interacted with me were profoundly rude, barely literate, and their zombie-like parroting of incoherent facts left a bad taste in my mouth. I had previously heard horror stories about CTS' HR recruitment team and they very well were able to live up to their reputation in my case too! :-) Overall it was a sheer waste of time painfully grinding through multiple interviews and discussions only to realize that these cheap stakes have more holes in their pockets than they have coins ;-) Honest word of advice to the CTS HR folks - please DO NOT dream of buying a Rolls Royce at the price of a Maruti. If you cannot afford quality folks, please indicate that in the first interview itself instead of wasting time.
