I went through their complete interview process and was left very disappointed with the way it ended.
I cleared three highly technical rounds, each of which was challenging and in-depth. The interviewers in those rounds clearly understood my skills and selected me through each stage, which gave me confidence that my capabilities were being fairly evaluated.
After that, I was scheduled for a managerial round, which was not technical at all. I am still not sure whether I was rejected in this final round or afterwards. If the rejection was based on this stage, it raises a serious concern: were the three technical rounds not enough to validate my abilities? Since I would have been working closely with the technical team who had already approved me, why should a non-technical managerial discussion outweigh those evaluations?
To make matters worse, there was no timely communication. After completing all four rounds, I heard nothing for over a week. Only after I personally followed up with HR did I receive a rejection email on the same day. The lack of transparency, delayed response, and absence of constructive feedback made the whole process feel unprofessional and discouraging.
