I don't remember how I applied but I got call from HR, after initial phone screening they gave time slot to choose for interview. 1st round was HLD which was good and I passed. For next round they wanted 3 different slots. 2nd round was DSA which was also good and was on DFS. 3rd round code review which also went well. 4th round I messed up a bit in end but overall it was good. After that they scheduled 5th round and that was managerial round and that was very good. I was hopping for +ve feedback overall but got call from HR that review is avg and they will let me know in some days. After 1 week I followed up but no response and after call they told not selected as review was mixed. If the pas round affect the overall rating then why to give hope. But overall the interview experience was good. Interviewers were very helpful. I would love to apply again in future and would love to work with them.

The whole process seemed like a waste of time. When the recruiter initially reached out to me they mentioned that they already had other candidates that passed the first round. Knowing this they scheduled out my first round 3 weeks later. I was really confused by this and emailed to clarify if we were still in alignment since others are further along in the process. They said it was fine since team is slowing down for the holidays. They closed the role the day before my interview. What was the point in stringing me along like that?
