My profile and interview was on Javascript but they rejected because I didn't know Python. HR don't know which technology to hire candidates for. They simply schedule the interview to waste time of the candidates. Later on they say, oh, we missed to update the JD of the profile, sorry! .. I would never recommend such a company to anyone. I've 10 yrs of exp but the questions asked were of fresher. Seriously, didn't expect such juvenile process from Druva.
