The hiring process, from interview to joining, was lengthy, often taking six months to complete. In some cases, candidates failed the interview even at the final stage. Waiting for such extended periods is difficult.

It was a solid experience. It started with a quick chat with a recruiter about my background and what I was looking for. Then I had a technical phone interview with some coding questions—not too crazy, but definitely required some prep.

I had two separate phone calls. The first was with my manager, and the second was with his manager. Both calls lasted approximately 30 minutes to an hour.
