The interview process took almost one week. The first and second rounds were smooth, but after that they assigned a technical assessment, which required a significant amount of time and effort to complete. Unfortunately, it felt like the effort put into the assessment was not properly considered or appreciated during the hiring process.
After the assessment review, there was a manager round that lasted nearly one hour. Even after clearing that discussion, they still wanted to conduct another round just to gain more confidence in the candidate. Surprisingly, that was still not the final step, as there was also a separate leadership round afterward.
The overall process felt unnecessarily lengthy and repetitive. Multiple rounds were conducted with similar discussions, making the process time-consuming and exhausting for candidates. Despite investing considerable effort in the assessment and interviews, there was very little respect shown for the candidate’s time and contribution.
Overall, the interview experience was disappointing due to the excessive number of rounds and the lack of consideration for the effort candidates put into the process.
