I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Swiss Re

there were multiple rounds of interview with interviewers from different locations, apart from the interview with direct manager who I am going to work under, all other interviews are soft-skills and personability focus.
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Swiss Re (Bengaluru) in May 2022
Interview
There were 4 rounds of technical interviews spread over a period of 2 months. 1 HR round at the end overall phone.
Overall it was an amazing experience in terms of the interviews and the quality of questions are really good and challenging.
The interviews are really positive in terms of the way employees treating the interviewees. You will get the feel of Swiss Re culture in the interview itself which is really amazing and welcoming.
Cons: Interview process is very long. It surely can be shortened by a huge margin.

Interview
Unlike Swiss Re, I'll be brief here.
1. 6 rounds of interview spanning across 5 months.
2. Cleared all 6 (as per the HR) and they told me the offer (CTC) verbally.
3. Negotiated for more.
4. HR asked me to wait while they check with the hiring managers.
5. On the 4th day, got a message from the HR that they have put this requirement on hold and I can pursue other leads.
It is better that this happened now rather than later around the time of joining because I was looking forward to joining them if it had come through.
Good thing that I had other options.
