It was a short and simple process, not too technical. They wanted to check my availability and how soon I could start. They said to just be myself and they'll know if I'm a good fit. To prepare, they advised to just be honest and answer correctly because it will matter once I start the job.

I had a phone screen and then a zoom interview with the head of operations. They mentioned the process might take a while and asked for patience. After over 3 weeks with no updates, I contacted the recruiter about the role's status. The recruiter reiterated the need for patience, stating they would be moving slowly. It has been nearly 2 months since my interviews, and I haven't heard back. I felt my time was disrespected and wasted, assuming they proceeded with other candidates without informing me.

Coding Technical Behavioral
Started with an HR call, then a Hackerrank test. If that went well, I got an invitation for a Panel interview. I did the panel round and the interviewers seemed to like my performance. But then, nothing. I never heard back. It's frustrating to be ghosted after investing 3 hours in the interview process and additional time for prep. At least, some feedback or a decision within a reasonable time would be appreciated, showing respect for the candidate's time.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- A question about REST APIs and another one on file systems for the Hackerrank test.
- Discussion about my resume and a question on theoretical design implementation during the panel interview.
