So the whole thing was like 4 different sessions, took about a month and a half to get through. There were two technical sessions, one where they talked about management stuff, and then a final team meeting thing. No coding challenges or anything, but they hit me with a lot of 'what would you do' scenarios and just generally asked about my history and what I've worked on.

First, there was an online assessment with two coding questions, ranging from easy to medium difficulty. Then, a group discussion focused on e-commerce sites. Following that, an AI round (which wasn't eliminatory) involved a problem statement where I had to build something using AI. The final round, PI, included questions about the AI round and my projects. They also asked about my favorite subject, which I said was DBMS, and then they asked me a query related to it that I couldn't answer. Unfortunately, I wasn't selected.

I got a call from HR to set up an interview, scheduled for a week after the call. I joined the call 5 minutes early but waited 25 minutes, and no one showed up. When I called HR, I was informed the interviewer was on medical leave and that the HR team should have rescheduled. They apologized and said it would be rescheduled. I emailed two days later to confirm if it would be rescheduled, but I haven't received a response. I'm currently employed and can make time for an interview anytime. If you're not hiring, why waste people's time? I've heard of fake job postings, but I didn't expect to be a victim. Overall, a terrible experience with Verizon.
