I went through a long, multi-round interview process involving 5+ rounds, including interactions with team members across India and APAC. While the initial communication was prompt, things changed dramatically after the final round was scheduled. After being told I was moving forward for an onsite with the India Head, I was later informed — only when I followed up — that the position had been put on hold. There was no prior indication of this, and despite my full commitment throughout, the process ended with zero closure. It felt like my time and effort weren’t respected. Companies often expect candidates to be responsive and prepared — that should go both ways. Aurora may have a great mission, but the interview experience left me disappointed.
