HCLTech Seniot Software Engineer interview questions

Whole interview process took 3 months, every two weeks they would call for a telephonic discussion with same set of questions and after that for almost one month there is no reply and they asked to come face to face interview. Finally after that again there is no reply.

I applied for UI developer role. There were 2 rounds. Technical and managerial. Technical round covered everything from HTML,CSS, JS, AJAX, JQuery. Need to have strong basics. The technical interview went on for almost 1.5-2 hrs. The interviewer had a pleasant attitude. The manager round was equally good. Asked me about the projects I have worked on and also took time to explain regarding project and the kind of work done there and also about the work culture. Till here my experience was good. Only problem was salary negotiation. They said they will not be able to pay me even current CTC and asked me to wait. After some time a person came and told me I "failed" the HR round and asked me to "refresh my skills" and to try again ! I think the HR should take this into consideration before calling a candidate for an interview and not get back later saying they "failed" HR round.
