I applied for the job via LinkedIn and received a call from the hiring manager within a day or two for the screening round. This round involved technical questions and a brief walkthrough of my career, lasting approximately 45 minutes. The hiring manager was very friendly and polite.

I cleared the screening, and then came the first technical round, which lasted around 1 hour and 15 minutes. This round was also conducted by a patient and polite interviewer. I cleared this round as well and was informed that I would have another technical round.

This subsequent round was conducted by a female interviewer who did not seem as friendly as the others. It appeared she had already made up her mind to reject me, even though I answered most of the technical questions she posed. She also asked some situation-based questions, which I answered based on my perception.

When I received the feedback for this round, to my utter dismay, it was mentioned that they were looking for someone with good problem-solving skills in the given technology. The surprising part was that the interviewer had not asked any questions that could have tested my problem-solving skills. This came as a real surprise and shock, as I was confident I had performed well in all the previous rounds. It was a disappointing experience.
