Process

There was a phone screening, which was scheduled for an hour but went about 10 minutes over. The interviewer was professional and did not ask textbook questions.

I was called in for an on-site interview that lasted about 5 hours.

I interviewed with the manager over lunch, and then I was handed over to the engineering team for further interviews.

I was provided a computer to work on and asked to implement some solutions. This was referred to as 'craft work.' It went well, and the interviewers confirmed I had the solution.

Next, I met with QE and Engineers. This interview was very interesting in terms of questions asked, covering mock data, unit tests, code coverage, etc. They were very relevant questions, ensuring a bridge between QE and Engineering. Then, I was interviewed by the Product Manager. All of them confirmed that I had answered everything they were looking for.

Now, this part becomes comically interesting to me. Four days later, I received a call from HR to inform me that I did well, and they liked my attitude and answers. However, the team decided not to hire me, but to refer me to other teams, and I am still active. This is most bizarre. They should say either yes or no. For that reason, I have given a thumbs down.
