Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - >> Anyone with average understanding of Networking and Security can clear the two technical rounds.
>> However be careful for third round where their Directors and upper management will be as panel and they call you Noida for this round.
>> Do not go to Noida to waste your money and valuable time as eventually you are not going to be selected by giving silly reasons like you need to gain more technical expertise and their management will tell this without asking any single tech question!
>> They do not have clear understanding of hiring criteria and hence not selecting by giving random reason.
