Entretien
This company is not actually interested in hiring the potential resources. And is such a waste of time. Recently I applied there for the position of Aws DevOps. There were two technical rounds. I cleared the first one. The scond one was such a mess. Gopalkrishnan Thrivasan was the name of the interviewer. This guy has zero experience of taking interviews. He asked me to write coding asked the general questions and I was there with bang on with all those relevant questions. But he asked me some irrelevant questions totally based on theoretical knowledge. He doesn't know at all that a candidate should be tested on the practical hands on experience rather then on theoretical knowledge. Plus he was more keen to judge me based on something which I haven't even mentioned in my resume. I really doubt if he actually got a chance to even go through the resume. I can bet. I could have asked him the questions based on DevOps of which he would have had no idea at all. The point is DevOps is just not about one or two things like Java . .NET etc. It covers whole lot of things that include Infrastructure, automation, CICD, monitoring etc. Any sensible interviewer will try to judge the candidate based on these things just to understand if the candidate has actually worked on these things or not. Rather will try to test based on what he himself has been doing. Interviewers need to understand that every organization, project use these DevOps tools differently based on the requirements. What I have been working on this man Gopal may not have worked on. Does that mean he has no knowledge of DevOps. Inspite of answering most of the relevant questions that include coding my candidature was rejected without any proper feedback justification. I am sure there has to be some other factor apart from interview for the rejection. So my honesty feedback is do not waste your time for this company. As it has people like this Gopalkrishnan who is such a waste of time and has no idea of how to take interviews. And to the company : PLEASE REMOVE THIS PERSON AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM FROM THE TECHNICAL PANEL. HE HAS ZERO UNDERSTANDING OF TAKING INTERVIEWS. HE IS JUST SPOILING THE NAME OF THE COMPANY IN TERMS OF TUS INTERVIEW PROCESS.

Question 1
He asked me about complete functionality of Maven though I am not a maven expert and no where I have mentioned that in my resume. Looks like they were looking for Maven expert rather then the whole DevOps expert. Also asked me theoretical questions like what are the best practices to write a Dockerfile. I never googled it. In my 10 years of experience client never asked me about that. He gave me the work. I delivered it with the best of its quality. He was super satisfied. Job done. But this man Gopal was so keen to make the final decision based on thesee irrelevant questions.
