The process took 8 weeks.

While writing this, it makes sense why Socure has average ratings and candidates are highlighting it. So it went like a 2-month-long interview process:

• 1 Hiring Manager round
• 1 Online coding assessment
• 2 Technical interviews
• 1 Cultural round

All cleared. HR said, "We want to hire you, but our leadership is taking some decision, and once they do, we will send you an offer." After this, months of waiting, and still leadership is unable to take a decision. Mail follow-ups to read "we will get back to you soon" repeat to an extent that one day it starts making you feel stupid.

I can see how others have mentioned a similar experience, and definitely, I am in their shoes now. I don't know who is at fault: the hiring team, leadership, or both.

Don't waste your time giving interviews here.
