So there were 4 rounds. Round 1 was about coding, automation, and SQL. Round 2 was again coding, SQL, and Linux commands. Round 3 was the same topics as before, it was a techno-managerial round. My code worked and I answered everything right. Round 4 was an in-person meeting at their office, they called it a 'general discussion.' After that, HR told me the panel gave negative feedback, but they weren't clear why. It felt like a waste of my time with all the technical rounds, and then they just dismissed me without a real reason.

The interview process was nice, it took over 2 weeks. There were 3 technical rounds followed by a manager round. The first round was focused on logical skills, the second on framework design and testing. The manager round was for culture fit.

The screening process was heavily focused on dynamic programming. To even get screened, candidates needed a GPA above 7.5 and had to complete an Udemy Python bootcamp.
