Interview
I applied and got interviewed in Microsoft Bangalore , HR was very polite and handled well , first interviewer also was very polite and most of the questions asked were related to trees and stuff first interview went well , the second interview was with a scum he showed up very late on top of if he didnt respond to my greeting instead he started as if its a war , the problem with this guy is he had a fixed implementation in his mind and he wasnt willing to listen or go through n understand my code, instead of giving an effort to understand the code he said, I dont think it will work n stuff , its not worth to work in such teams where people are not willing to listen and expect fixed answers , anyways I have an offer with AMAZON and google process is going on
