Entrevista
Four rounds total. Round 1 was an HR screen covering visa status and commute. Round 2 was a CV review and basic Java questions with the Senior Development Manager. Round 3 was a 2-hour technical interview with three senior team members covering a coding problem, whiteboard architecture discussion, and core Java questions. Round 4 was a cultural fit interview. Communication throughout was prompt and professional. The HR team was transparent about the process and expectations from the start.
Overall process spanned about 6 weeks from application to final decision.
How it ended: Received a rejection after the compensation discussion. The stated reason was "candidates more suited to immediate requirements," but the compensation gap appeared to be a contributing factor
