The hiring process began with a brief initial round with HR several months prior to the technical interview. The second round, conducted by the hiring manager, focused extensively on topics covering the entire AZ-900 syllabus. However, following this round, there was no further communication from HR, leading to a prolonged period of uncertainty. Overall, the process reflected a lack of urgency and seriousness in filling the position, with delayed and inconsistent communication serving as a prime example of inefficiency in the hiring process.
