Candidate-reported interview process

This was the worst interview experience ever. I got selected in the first technical round, but then there were no updates. I followed up multiple times, and then the HR asked me to restart the process from the same first technical round again, after which there were still no updates.

the 1st round has 4 sections: OS, SQL, C/C++, Java, all MCQs. you need to prepare at least 3 subjects to pass the 1st round. the rest is luck.

Got a call for a face-to-face interview. I went to the address provided, but it was hard to find. Make sure to confirm the address when they call and leave early. The interview panel had two people, both with laptops. They seemed unprepared and uncoordinated. They looked up questions online to ask me, which I thought was pretty weak. Tip: If you want to hire someone good, prepare puzzles from Quora.
