Technical Behavioral
HR reached out to me and asked for basic details and salary expectations (~50% hike). After that I appeared for 3 rounds of interviews. All 3 were technical, focusing on SQL and Tableau. 2 were virtual, 3rd was F2F in their office with AVP and a Sr. Mgr. Since I was an immediate joiner, all 3 rounds were conducted within a week. After the 3rd round I was confident that I would get through. HR told me they will convey the outcome via email. However in the evening they called me and asked for my expectation again and how much can I negotiate. I gave them both figures (negotiated from 50% hike to 40% hike). The next day another HR called me and asked the same question again. When I told them the same numbers they told me that they don't have that much budget and asked if I can go down any further. Since I was in need of job, I went down further to 30% hike but they were not ready for that as well. When I asked them about their budget, they were offering me just 10% hike which was shocking. They said they will check with the seniors but then I never heard back. Rejecting a candidate after 3 rounds just because their expectation exceeds your budget is unprofessional given the expectation was clearly stated during the phone screening.

It was a 3 round process. We had one on one discussions with the Manager, Sr. Manager and AVP. The interviewers were friendly and made me feel comfortable. It was more of a discussion than an interview.
