They started the interview process. It started with a phone screening round and then there was another interview round but after that they left the process in half-way without communicating anything further.
Comprehensive interview. Difficulty level was moderate to high. There are 2+1 rounds of interviews. I am sharing my experience for the first rounds.
The sad part was though they claim the process to be very transparent and recorded. They dont share feedback after the step . Not even in email - which I believe is very sahdy and rude behaviour.
