The process over a month has been quite draining.
Between the initial Media IP Modeling role which took an unexpected turn when the technical interview focus completely diverged from the JD and this recent experience regarding the Media-Driver requirements, I have invested a significant amount of time and leave from my current work.
I explicitly confirmed the driver experience requirements with HR and the interviewers as well to avoid exactly this scenario, so seeing the rejection notification initially was very disheartening.
I hope they simply dont play with the candidates and waste their time
