Company only with big name but very unprofessional

Review On House of Hiranandani, Bangalore

I would like to share with you'll my experience of attending an interview at Hiranandani Upscale, Bangalore, ORR, Banaswadi, so that you can think before joining this highly unprofessional company, which only has a big name in the market, and nothing else.

I got a call from their Mumbai office to attend an interview twice the previous day, and on the day of my interview to meet a particular person in the HR for the interview. She SMSed me the address, persons name and contacts. Hence I went over and was there 10 mins before my scheduled time of interview, (while I was on my way to the interview, I again got a call from their HR in Mumbai asking me if I have reached the premises and I confirmed I am on the way, which gave me a good feeling on her follow up).

SADLY Once I reached the office, there was a security guard sitting at the reception/secretary desk, instead of an actual receptionist and was extremely rude and unpolite, asking "who you want and for what purpose you have come". When I told him that I have come over to meet the concerned person in HR for an interview, he tells me he has not come to office today and is on leave. He then tells me if you have his number call him, instead of him calling and checking with a landline phone under his nose.

I then call the concerned HR person that was SMSed me by the Mumbai office and he tells me to handover the phone to the security. The security then speaks something to him and asks me to wait at the reception.

After 10 mins he then introduces me to the head of some other department who takes my interview for a junior post, while in fact I have a lot of experience and an MBA and was given to understand it would be for a senior post by their Mumbai office. He then tells me "ok we will now have a video conference with our Mumbai office. Please wait for sometime, as other people have also come for interview".

After waiting for around 20 minutes - where I can hear the office staff sitting and joking loudly on the other side of the reception area I am finally called to the third floor where the GM - CRM/Marketing from Mumbai is already on the TV and ready to speak. She introduces herself as GM. I was like thinking, what this lady does not have a name or what?. She was extremely unprofessional and rude, the way she asked questions and was acting like I am begging for a job.

I am wondering how a company like Hiranandani with such a big name in Mumbai conducts itself so unprofessionally to outsiders, I wonder what their customers must be going through. Can they not afford to have a receptionist, instead of a rude security guard? Can the person from the company be present as communicated to me by their Mumbai office, to meet for the interview, instead of the rude security guard coordinating things? Can they not be sure for which position my cv has been shorlisted by their Mumbai office and for which position I am going to be interviewed for, prior to calling me and fixing the time? Can the GM be more polite, by at least introducing herself by telling us her name or is she too big for that?

This was one horrible experience and the worst interview I have attended. Please we are not begging for a job and anyways would not want to be part of such an unprofssional set up.
