Interview
Applied through career fair got call two weeks for the first round interview.
After a month, got a seocond round interview request. (More like forced interview since the HR manger never replied to my rescheduling email).
Told I would get a result within two days. Then Igot ghosted. So, I moved on and got another position. Later I got a call that I got the position. It was so random.
Interviews were hard and very stressful. Asked behavioral questions first then grilled me on technical questions
