(1) Recruiter Screen
(2) HM screen
(3) 4 person panel interview
The interview process consisted of three straightforward stages. Each interview, lasting 30-45 minutes, focused on standard behavioral and technical questions.
While the structure was clear and the questions were reasonable, the post-interview communication was severely lacking. After completing six interviews, I experienced a frustrating lack of follow-up. Despite reaching out to the recruiter three times, I received no definitive decision or feedback regarding my candidacy. This absence of communication was extremely disappointing, particularly given the significant time investment required for the multi-stage process. A simple, candid email with a decision, even if negative, is a basic courtesy that should be extended to all candidates, especially those who reach the final stage.
Furthermore, one interviewer made an inappropriate comment insinuating I was using ChatGPT to generate my responses. I clarified that I maintain a document of interview questions, which is evident in the "interview questions" section below. This unwarranted accusation left a negative impression and detracted from an otherwise smooth interview process.
In summary, while the interview format was clear and the questions were manageable, the lack of post-interview communication and the interviewer's unprofessional remark significantly impacted my overall experience.
