I made it to the final stage, but then the interviewer never showed up. I haven't received any emails or replies. I even emailed the recruiter, but no response from the team. It was a complete waste of my time.

So first there was an online exam, and if you passed that, there was another technical exam. This one was more about programming and logic. For programming, they had me do a fibonacci and a fizz buzz question in any language. After that, I had an HR interview where they asked common questions about my thesis, internship, and why I'm interested in this field.

This interview and exam was tough. Even though I'm a recent grad, the job they offered, based on my test results, wasn't entry-level, likely because I scored high. It was overwhelming as it was my first job interview, and it was a panel interview right away. The questions were very technical for me, and I wasn't sure how to answer the questions from one of the interviewers. The hiring managers were also intimidating. Additionally, I didn't know how to answer their questions later on about the company's COVID-19 response.
