The process involved an HR round, a C++ coding interview, and a virtual on-site round. I didn't move past the coding round and I personally know 3 other people who made it to the on-site round, and one other who made it to the coding round. None of us felt like we didn't deliver during any of the interviews, and were all caught off guard by the rejections. Seems like they didn't want to hire anyone at all. Even the question for the coding round was the exact same for all of us, despite them being aware of the fact that we all belong to the same program. While I solved everything during the coding round before time and discussed possible improvements after, the interviewer seemed like he didn't want to be there from the very beginning. When a few of us asked for feedback regarding the rejection, they just said that they decided to move forward with another candidate, in spite of the fact they were calling new people for first rounds after this.

This was the first round with the technical recruiter. He provided an overview of the role and the company before asking questions about my background, experience, and some behavioural aspects.
