BengaluruPosted Nov 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a longer interview process than I expected—six rounds total, with two coding rounds, two system design rounds, a hiring manager conversation, and an HR discussion at the end.

After completing everything, I still got rejected, which was hard because the HR conversation included discussion about compensation and expectations. That made it seem like the feedback had been positive along the way.

The frustrating part wasn’t just the rejection itself—it was that nobody explained compensation alignment early enough. By the time it got to the final HR step, I felt like I’d already sunk several hours into rounds that could have been clarified sooner. In retrospect, the feedback tone didn’t match the final decision, and that mismatch made the rejection feel
