I had an online coding assessment on HackerEarth, followed by 3 rounds of interviews. The first interview was a DS Algo round where I was asked questions based on my resume and LeetCode problems like Buy and Sell stocks and longest prefix. Then there was an advanced DS Algo round. Lastly, I had an HR interview.

Technical Coding Behavioral
Overall 7 rounds of interviews, 4 virtual and 3 onsite. I cleared all rounds and was asked to share documents for processing. The recruiter went silent for a while and then mentioned they needed time to make a hiring decision, which is unclear why. The recruiter also doesn't know what's happening. It felt like a waste of time, and I had to travel a lot for the onsite interviews for no reason. I suggest the hiring team be clear about their expectations and value candidates' time. Being unprofessional while running a company is not acceptable. Don't be unethical or play with emotions. Be grateful to candidates for considering your company. Again, please be professional and don't play with emotions.
