First, there was a recruiter screen where they asked about my background, why I wanted to switch jobs, and gave me an overview of the role. The recruiter mentioned the hiring manager liked my profile and wanted to proceed. Then, I had a scheduled call with the hiring manager, but they didn't show up. After that, I was ghosted and never heard back from the recruiter.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
First round was standard behavioral and background questions, although they read from a list the whole time and didn't care much about who you are. Then, there was a project round where I spent 30-40 hours on my project and only had a week to do it. They rejected me with no reasoning why. Waste of time and clearly don't value the people who invest time into their interview process.

It was a three-step process. First, I interviewed with a Senior Manager for a technical interview. Then, I had a technical interview with a Staff Engineer.

Group Technical Behavioral
First, there was a group discussion where they checked our communication and speaking skills, and most importantly our leadership qualities like letting all members of the group speak at least once. Then, a technical round where they asked questions on various topics like DSA, oops, react and again some personal questions to know your thinking ability or ideology. Lastly, the HR round where they asked at least 3-4 questions. Stretch your answers and elaborate as long as you want but don't make it personal, keep it professional. Talk mostly about your technical background and achievements. Questions could be tricky when they ask you. You maybe temped or get confused on if it's personal or not, but they want a professional answer outlining your skills, works, projects and abilities.
