Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process started with a technical test covering Python and ML. Then there was an online technical round focusing on Machine Learning and Python. After that, a Hiring Manager Round occurred, which was non-technical and aimed at assessing personality. Finally, an HR Round was held for salary discussions. The interview difficulty is average, so brush up your technical knowledge.

It was a 3-part interview. The first was technical, focusing on SQL and Python. The second involved a business case study. Then there was an HR round with salary discussion. The overall interview experience was good, and the HR was responsive to schedule the next steps.

Applied for the job and got a call the very next day, which was a good start. First up was a SQL test (intermediate). Then, I had two interviews, also intermediate level. Cleared both and on the same day, I was asked to complete a pre-process offer form. Weirdly, there was silence from them for 10 days. After I chased them up with calls and emails, they finally replied saying the position has been put on hold. This was a shock. I've never seen such unprofessional behavior. Why conduct tests and interviews if there's no plan to hire? It was a completely negative experience, and I'd advise others in this field to avoid this company.
