Behavioral Technical Coding
I first got a call from HR after they found my resume on a job portal. The first stage was a phone call. After that, I was invited to their office for in-person interviews. On the same day, I had two technical interview rounds. The HR person was nice and easy to talk to. It made me a bit uneasy when one of the technical interviewers brought up references to my current and previous managers. The interviewers seemed more focused on why I left my past jobs rather than understanding my technical skills. I was pretty disappointed with this because nobody quits a job they are happy with. All in all, it wasn't a great experience. When I asked for feedback on why I wasn't selected, they said I wasn't strong in a specific area, which they barely touched upon during the interview.
