I attended the initial phone screen, which I learned I cleared after two weeks. Then, they called me for a full-day interview after two months.
On the interview day, I had seven back-to-back rounds. Almost everyone asked the same questions, except for the first and last managerial rounds.
The interviewing panel members carried the pride of the company brand and clearly showed they were smarter by asking many coding algorithms. It appeared they never used those algorithms in their day-to-day tasks. All the interview panel members were desi. They acted oversmart by showing their extra preparation for the interview.
They did not even know the basic concept of giving breaks between interview rounds. In the end, the manager interview clearly showed their work culture is bureaucratic. They do not like someone who asks too many questions.
