Behavioral Technical Coding

I had two rounds of interviews: first an HR Screening, then a Virtual Technical Round. The HR person told me the technical interview would focus on Problem Solving and SQL, which I double-checked with them. But when I got to the actual interview, it was all about Core Java. It's frustrating when recruiters aren't upfront about the interview content, especially when you're already juggling studying for multiple interviews on top of a demanding full-time job.

Technical Behavioral

I interviewed here and went through 5 technical rounds and 1 HR round. I passed all rounds and was selected. I submitted my salary slip and other documents. However, the HR person was very rude and unresponsive to my calls and emails. I even contacted a senior person, but they also didn't respond. I'm questioning why they conduct interviews if they aren't interested in hiring. I feel like I wasted 3 months due to their very inefficient interview procedure. If I could give a negative rating, I definitely would.
