Applications Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
HR sent an email saying it would be 5 rounds of interviews. 1 technical, 3 behavioral, 1 whiteboard. HR sent 3 invitations for the technical round and didn't confirm the interview time. I attended 2 interview slots, but no one joined the interview. I rescheduled the interview after 2 weeks, and again, no interviewer joined the session.
