Quick Rejection and Harsh Response
I had a 30-minute technical interview where I was asked questions related to backend development, cloud, and general programming. I answered some fully and some partially.
At the end, when the interviewer asked if I had any questions, I asked a basic one about the tech stack and DevOps responsibilities. He harshly told me to ask the HR, which felt rude and unnecessary.
Just 5 minutes after the call, I received a rejection email. The whole process felt rushed and not respectful to the candidate.

One technical round
