This interview process was quite time-consuming. Some of the interviewers were great, but others made it really difficult to understand what they were asking. This led to going in circles when I tried to get clarification, which was frustrating.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

Got contacted by a recruiter via email after applying 3 months prior. The job title was a bit confusing, advertised as Manager and Specialist with the same description. The recruiter scheduled a 1:1 Skype interview. I was on vacation and had to go home for it. While waiting on Skype, the recruiter emailed saying the interviewer was busy, so we rescheduled. The 1:1 happened the next week and lasted over an hour. Then came a surprise: four hours later, an email said I was moving to the next round, which was a panel interview. They also asked me to submit a project (which took way longer than the estimated 2 hours) and an introduction. I worked hard on the project and prepared a PPT for my personal project. During the panel interview, they were unfriendly and didn't ask about my background or intro. They only focused on the project I did for them, where I shared some good insights. It was a disappointing and dishonest interview process.

I did a few assignments and interviews. I had to make some content and also fix/edit some content that was already there. I submitted written assignments and also recorded a presentation/video. I also talked to some people from the team.
