Behavioral Technical Coding

The interview process was good. The first round, the interviewer asked about myself and my past experience, then couple basic questions that a frontend developer should know, like what is webpack, what and why to use hooks and their comparison with lifecycle methods, followed by a few tricky javascript questions to check my grasp. At the end, I asked him about his work and day-to-day. He explained and gave good insight into his work and contributions. The interviewer was friendly. The second round, a new interviewer asked similar introductory questions. I explained my current and past professional work. He also asked conceptual questions about react, javascript, and frontend in general. He was very friendly and even gave hints when I was stuck.

So, I went through this interview process. It had 1 phone call, 1 written test, and then 2 in-person meetings. I did all of them. The questions weren't too hard, pretty average, and I managed to answer all the questions and coding problems they threw at me. Honestly, the interviewers and the panel seemed unprofessional and uninterested, like they were just going through the motions. The HR recruiter was even chasing the tech people to get them to conduct the interviews. It felt like the whole thing was just a formality for the interviewers. When I asked for feedback at the end, they refused to give any.

Confirmed questions4 questions

I directly got the call from the HR. I reached their office in the morning at 10. I had a total of 5 rounds throughout the day. 1) Written Test 2) First Technical Interview 3) Second Technical Interview 4) Second Written Test 5) Manager Round. After taking these rounds, they told me they will let me know and it has been over a month, I do not have any information about my candidature. They did not even feel courteous to respond via email. Really the worst interview experience I have ever had, as this was the second time they called me and did not drop an email about the process.
