The interview process involved a one-hour panel interview. The staff were generally nice. However, there was a two-month delay after the interview. The HR kept saying they were trying to push back the joining time and inquired about my expected salary and availability to adjust my start date. I initially thought they were serious and would extend an offer, but it ended up being very disappointing.
