I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Proofpoint (Sunnyvale, CA)
Interview
1. Hiring Manager interview was conducted in July.
2. 4 rounds of interview under the name of Full Circuit interview conducted in August.
3. After 2 weeks, I have followed up for the feedback
4. In feedback they said I will have to give 3 more rounds of interview One with 2 panel and that is too for 75 min and One with another Engineer that is too 30 min
When I asked the HR about why there is one more Virtual Onsite, HR mentioned Hiring manager forgot to assess all the areas which were supposed to be covered as a part of first Virtual Onsite, so they are conducting one more Virtual onsite.
This is really a waste of 3 months of wait and my time.
I already had 2 other offers in my hand, so I said no for further interviews. How one can expect 2 Virtual onsite for Just QA Engineer position.
Process is very slow. dont recommend to anyone. I will never apply to proofpoint where there is no value for candidate's time.
