Interview process was smooth until the hiring manager round.

The earlier rounds were professional and focused on my technical and professional experience. However, during the HM round, a significant portion of the discussion focused on my personal background rather than my experience, skills, or suitability for the role.

Some of the questions felt unnecessarily personal and were not clearly related to the position. I found the experience uncomfortable and felt that the interview did not provide an appropriate opportunity to demonstrate my technical qualifications.

The overall process was smooth until the final round, but my experience with the HM round was disappointing.
