Don't go if you are from North India or not from any South Indian state. If you get a genuine interviewer, then it's your luck.

The interview was easy; I cleared all rounds.

Round 1: Basic Java concepts, DS and Algo, CI/CD concepts.

Round 2: DS and Algo: 2 questions. Cleared both.

Round 3: In-depth questions about Java and Spring, specifically how they internally work. Although I didn't understand why these questions were relevant, I cleared this.

The manager was working from home on the interview date, so the rest of the interview was postponed to the next day, even though I had informed HR that I was feeling unwell.

Round 4 (Hiring Manager):

1. Tell me about yourself.
2. How would you distribute work to mentees?
3. Many other non-technical questions.
4. Non-work-related questions. It seemed he was not interested. All his teammates who interviewed me were South Indians. Seeing this pattern, I realized he rarely hires North Indians (only for namesake). So, I concluded he was wasting my time. In the end, he said I was good and HR would handle the final offer. (Wait and see what happened below).

HR discussion: Salary expectations; submitted all my documents in soft copy.

After that, the manager told me to please remain seated as HR would come with the offer. After waiting for half an hour, HR came and suddenly informed me that the vacancy was closed. Sorry.

The communication was verbal, with no official confirmation that the seat had been filled.

It was evident that they had become masters of hiding their intentions while still being prejudiced. The entire floor was filled with South Indians. Therefore, I suggest that if your manager is South Indian, DON'T go and waste your time.
