Interview
I recently interviewed for a technical role, and the experience did not quite live up to my expectations. The main issue started with communication. It was a bit tough to understand the interviewer clearly, so I found myself asking him to repeat his questions multiple times throughout our conversation.
The coding round also felt a bit rushed. I was given two problems and had only 10 minutes for each, which made it hard to reach the required optimal O(n) solutions. For the first problem, a new condition was added after I had already finished my logic. Since the company values the overall approach, this sudden change and the tight clock felt a bit unreasonable.
Lastly, the interviewer seemed a bit distracted while I was working. He checked his phone a few times and even stepped out of the room while I was coding. It would have been a lot more encouraging to see a bit more engagement during the session.

Interview
Cleared 3 technical interview rounds and was initially informed that I would be considered for a Technical Lead role managing a team of 5. However, after the interviews, the recruitment process became unclear and prolonged. The offered grade and CTC were revised downward multiple times despite earlier discussions. Several additional discussions and interviews were scheduled, including a client round for technologies outside my 10+ years of core experience. The communication was inconsistent, with frequent delays in responses and changing expectations. Overall, the experience felt unstructured and resulted in significant time investment without transparency regarding the final hiring decision and compensation.
