Alp Consulting interview questions

The interview process was quick but I am really disappointed knowing that a company who knows your current CTC/ expected CTC before getting your interview process started- overpromises that it matches the budget and then quotes you the CTC lower than your current package, Isn't this funny and waste of time and money(it was f2f interview and you all the the fare for Bangalore cab services)

The interview mode was face to face. There were 4 rounds of interview for me. The first 2 rounds was with internal HRs, 3rd round with Team lead and the last round with Manager.
