Had a hiring manager and 5 virtual on site rounds. I spent so many hours talking to the hiring team only to hear I am not technical enough and I was repeatedly asked about size of the company I come from. There is a senior platform manager and director who were already judging me and not ready to listen when I tried to explain and was rushing through the questions and at the end of all the process I was told I didn’t go in detail on various aspects. If ever get interviewed by him forget this job his only intention was to reject people. I felt there was a bias that I came from company with lesser employee.

I applied for a job, and while I had some overlapping experience, I knew I didn't know everything about it. A recruiter reached out, and we had a good chat about the role, the company, and my background. She then scheduled a video call with the hiring manager. The interview felt really scripted, and the interviewer kept hinting that my experience wasn't quite what they needed. After about 15 minutes, I wasn't sure why I was even in the second interview. Honestly, it felt like a practice run. I wish them luck, but they need to improve their process.
