They have asked for interview for only shortlisted candidate but after reaching there come to candidates were more than 100 and it seems like Walkin. If they tell about Walk in I would never have gone there. About the selection process, they have taken first round - Online test - you have to write one program on String. From 3 years to 12 years, same program. it is Okay for a 3-4 years to write a program but how a 12 years guy can write a program on IDE without any google help. And results were calculated on Bool type either you pass or fail as per your coding execution. No approach were assessed there. In your TL's JD, you have mentioned Design patterns , Multi-threading etc. But you have given a Online test on Subjective manner like you are hiring Fresher guys. At the 10+ years experience you should have to ask guys to create a design for any real problem, Class designing, design pattern, and architecture level things, not a String manipulation program. And they should have some createria that for TL, they should have given any optional rather than a programming. I think higher management should think about the selection process or either they should intimated the candidate that they will take a written test.
