Interview process is broken at moment for Bangalore, INDIA hiring.
At first, I was chosen for Sr. Fullstack Engineer role. Spend 4 round of interviews for it. Took like a month to complete. Interview was taken by Santa Clara team members. Feedback was position as per Recruiter. But after a week, they come to say that they found someone else fitting to the role.
This is not the end. Recruiter pushed me for other Sr.Staff Software Engineer role. Again gave 4 round of interviews. Interview was taken by same Santa Clara team members. Took a month to complete. After 2 weeks of waiting, Recruiter gives a feedback that they found somebody else fitting better.
Waste of total 8 hours + without any proper feedback.
Conclusion: All 4 Tech round was not an interview round, it's Screening round. Never know that I was getting screened in all 4 rounds and they would take 2 weeks to get the final status.
Interview rounds were good and feedback were positive.
It would have been better for them to put up an elimination round instead proceeding forward after every round since they were that choosy at picking someone better.
2 month of waste effort.
