Process
The interview process started with an initial OA (Online Assessment), followed by a recruiter call.
Next, I had a technical round.
This was followed by a virtual onsite, which included learning and system design components.
Finally, I met with the hiring manager.
I performed well throughout the process until the hiring manager round.
Unfortunately, I struggled with a basic technical question during that final interview, and received a rejection two days later.
