HR screening round, 1st and 2nd technical round were too good, and I was able to answer all the questions. However, later they said since it's for a senior role, there would be another tech round.
Therein came the challenge. The interviewer was so rigid and was expecting me to answer exactly what he needed. I answered 80% of the questions correctly, but still got rejected. It felt like a waste of time and energy to attend an interview for this company.
It's better to avoid taking an interview here. The company is good, but the interviewer is region-specific. If you are from North India, you are selected; if you are South Indian, you are rejected. It's a strange strategy from the interviewer.
First 2 tech rounds were easy, even the 3rd round, but the interviewer was rigid.
