Process

Approached me through LinkedIn.

Hiring takes almost 5-6 months and there are 8-9 interview rounds.

  • 2 on-call interviews with programming on a shared application
  • 6 onsite rounds

It took almost a month or so for evaluation. It seems they evaluate too many candidates for the same position.

The allocation of the position/title might vary based on the position and budget available in the project.

Recruiters come back with feedback from the hiring manager and other interviewers, and then contact us for a salary number. If we are not satisfied, we can ask them to change or compete based on the market rate.

Questions

I don't find any unexpected questions.

Lots of companies waste their time in the interview process and hire bad candidates.

All algorithms are straightforward.
