I was being call at the Kronos premises at 10 am sharp.The interview process started at 10:15 as the panel was very punctual there.
There were two rounds of technical interview which happened as the interview was basically for TSG TELESTAFF ENGINEERING BU.
Then in the 1st round they asked me starting from core java collections, multithreadinng, exception handling,oops etc.
Going forward they started asking about the framework that were written in the CV asked questions from everything written in CV and then they basically checked the basic concepts of all the framework and how much deep we know.
Luckily I knew those questions so was able to answer all of them.
After that it was 2nd round of interview which was technomanegerial who scanned through my CV and asked both technical and managerial questions.
The best part of the interview was the HR team who were very much proactive.I left their office around 2:35pm and in the evening around 6pm I got the call from them about my selection and had HR discussion and on the very same day in the late night I got the tentative offer letter which consists of the salary break up.
The interview process included an initial HR screening followed by multiple technical rounds focused on Selenium, TestNG, API testing, automation framework design, and Java fundamentals. Questions were mostly based on real-time automation challenges, framework architecture, debugging, and scenario-based problem solving.

HR interview, one-on-one coding challenge, then 2 technical interviews.
The technical interviewers did not plan ahead. One wanted me to draw an DB ERD but did not plan for *how* that would happen in the interview. And I didn't have any drawing software set up. So, he pivoted and asked me to write a simple Controller in my IDE. This is fine, but I feel the process should have been formalized more and practiced before asking an interviewee to participate.
I asked for feedback numerous times from the technical interviews and the HR rep kept saying he would get back to me. Then, he just completely ghosted me.
After 4 interviews, I expect a cordial update - negative or positive. And, frankly, I expect feedback. This was extremely unprofessional.

I interviewed for a Lead Software Engineer position and went through four rounds, including technical and managerial evaluations. Throughout the process, the expectations were aligned with a lead-level role — including discussions around leadership, system design, and ownership.
However, after clearing all rounds, I was surprisingly offered a Senior Software Engineer position instead, which was never discussed or hinted at earlier. This felt like a bait-and-switch, and I declined the offer.
Such a last-minute shift in title and scope reflects either internal misalignment or a toxic culture where transparency is lacking. It also shows a lack of respect for the candidate's time and effort.
Candidates aiming for leadership roles should be cautious and seek role/title confirmation upfront. Disappointing and unprofessional.
