They conducted two technical rounds of interviews with me over the course of three weeks. I was confident I had cleared both rounds, especially after the hiring manager personally mentioned that I was a strong fit based on my experience. However, the HR team kept me on hold as a backup candidate and later took down the job posting from the careers page. Despite multiple follow-ups over the phone, I received no response. It was only after sending a formal feedback email that I was informed they had decided to move ahead with a different candidate pool. It's disheartening to see how some companies handle candidates—leaving them waiting without clear communication and ultimately wasting their time

The interview process for the Data Engineer position involved an initial non-technical screening call, followed by two technical rounds focusing on SQL, Python, and Azure, and concluded with a behavioral final interview.
